What Causes Feeling Disoriented While On Wellbutrin?

I m 75 mg of Wellbutrin three times a day (I was taking it twice a day and the doctor increased it to 3xs a day. I don t have an appetite and have lost weight due to this; I m not complaining about the weight loss.I was overweight. The thing is that I don t feel that much better. I recently lost my brother (3 weeks ago) and that has affected me, I m sure. I don t like taking pills for depression, I don t like taking pills in general, but I do for high blood pressure which is under control My problem is taking the pills and not feeling that much better. I also noticed a slight memory problem.....I m frightened.

Hello,

Wellbutrin is usually given for depression and anxiety disorder. Though it is not considered the first line of medicine for this condition. It is given when other medicines don't work. You have not mentioned if you were taking any other medicines before this. If not then I suggest you to consult your psychiatrist and get opinion on other antidepressants like Escitalopram or Mirtazapine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
