Another experience with Welbutrin that I think I should put on here:
My girlfriend was taking it for a month or two when one weekend she became a completely different person, bent on killing herself. It was the scariest Weekend of my life. She hid razors everywhere and still has scars.
She was so determined, but the worst part was that it wasnt even her in there at all. I didnt know that girl sneaking razors into bed. I couldnt sleep at night because i knew that if i did she would sneak away and die. she told me this. she left for work that saturday morning and told me she may not come home. I felt so helpless. I did everything I could. She bought a pack of heavy duty box cutters at work and brought them home to use on her arms. I even cut my own hand to show her how it feels to watch someone you love hurt themself. (crazy on my part i know but i was so scared and desperate) I still have a beautifully ugly scar from that one. I cant tell you how many times i almost had to break down the bathroom door that weekend. I had to supervise every time she used the toilet because if i didnt she WOULD cut herself. Finally she snapped out of it and just stopped wanting to cut herself. The welbutrin went down the toilet.

We just kind of worked through her issues the old fashioned way. A lot of talking and support from the person you love.

i think it's important even for somebody on medication to talk through it.
by zee-ster on May 10th, 2007
agreed.

I was reading this old answer and thought I'd add that her depression and issues continued for another 6 months or so until she decided to see a therapist and was prescribed Cymbalta. The Cymbalta is working phenominally. She became the rational down to earth person I always knew was underneath and our relationship has never been better since she's been taking it.

I keep trying to add this comment, hope it works this time. My husband nearly died from taking Wellbutrin. He was diagnosed with MS and his doctor told him that he was depressed. My husband said he did not feel particularly depressed, and he had not been, but he didn't argue with the doctor and began taking Wellbutrin. He changed completely. Very, very depressed, introverted. We were getting ready for bed one night, he said he was going to get a drink of water. He came back into the room, passed out and struck some shelves on the way down, opening a serious gash in his head. His blood pressure (already high) sky-rocketed and he nearly died of a stroke in the ambulance. He was in the hospital for three days, almost lost his job. We never listen to doctors anymore, trust our own judgment and never, never take any medication without researching it. This is one instance in which we should have sued all involved. It is the only way they learn and stop shoving this stuff off on people.
