What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Wellbutrin?

I take 150 extended release Wellbutrin once a day. I tried 300 once a day and did not feel good on it. I have diabetes II - 7.1 my last A1C 2 mos ago. But I feel so much like the symptons below describe how I feel. I am 71, substitute for the school district and am OK when at work - or with my kids. But I feel like the feeling of joy has left me most of the time; I know I should exercise but just can t get the motivation. Could I have low dopamine levels? Also, does taking Wellbutrin have any relationship to getting Parkinson s?? I do have familial tremors which run in my Dad s family. (by the way he will be 99 in Feb - the oldest of ten children - he and two sisters left. Thank you Patricia

Hello and thank you for your question.
Wellbutrin is used for depression and works well in some people. It will not increase your chances of getting Parkinson's disease. Exercise is very important so try to make time for it and talk to your doctor about changing the wellbutrin or adding a second medication to it to improve your mood. Counseling may also be helpful to your.
I hope you are feeling better soon
