Wellbutrin

I am six weeks pp and have ppd. It's my second and I'm really sad and mad at myself to be going through this. With my first, I had some anxiety issues but I now can look back and say it wasn't ppd because this feels entirely different. I tried Zoloft before and made me so incredibly sick so my dr is having me try wellbutrin. I am petrified that it will make me feel awful. And mostly because with a baby I can't afford to feel that awful when I have two kids to take care of alone whole my husband is working.

Any success with Wellbutrin? I just need some hope that I will eventually feel better

    I take it and find it helpful. It never made me feel sick. Honestly, the worst side effect was sweating. My problem is more a lack of energy and motivation than sadness or anxiety.

    I've been taking Wellbutrin for years and love it. I would suggest taking Wellbutrin xl it's the extended release kind and will help a lot. I agree with the sweating being the only side effect for me as well. Best of luck and you got this girl!!!!

    I am on it as well. I only take 150mg and it makes a world of difference.

    Wellbutrin was terrible for me but meds affect everyone differently.  The worst side effect that I had from that was feeling like I had bugs crawling all over me.

    Give it a try... it's been really successful for lots of people.  Just be honest with your doctor if it isn't making you feel better.  GL!
