I started taking benzodiazepines at the age of 13 due to the side effects of an antidepressant I was placed on. Ativan, Xanax, Valium & now Klonopin. I asked that I be weaned off not knowing the horrors ahead. For the next year I dealt with terror upon wakening, not being able to hold a conversation or concentrate when people spoke, inability to hold down a job, MUSCLE/NERVE pain, paranoia/delusions that ppl were talking about me, constant ear ringing, disinterest in social activities. I ended up in a psych ward was reinstated & haven’t been the same since. I had an MRI done & they discovered several deficits in my frontal lobes as well as other parts of my brain—that are most likely related to the drugS. I can’t even read a book now & I was an avid reader. This stuff will lower your IQ.

I had heavy clotted bleeding (looked like grape jelly)for 3 months before fainting & being taken to the ER. Admitted due to extremely low hematocrit & hemoglobin, resulting in a blood transfusion of 2 units. Doc put me on provera & iron supplements, awaiting a hysterectomy in 3 weeks. I've gained 10 lbs. in 30 days and dread the next 3 weeks of taking this medication. However, I have FINALLY stopped bleeding and will take all the side effects, even weight gain, over feeling like a hostage to the gushings. I couldn't leave my house without fear, and I was tired of living that way. Looking forward to 4/16 :)

I took wellbutrin several years ago for the depressive side of Bipolar II. It was a wonder drug for me at the time, and I have been stable for about a year without any treatment. I decided to try wellbutrin again, this time for my increased anxiety levels, obsessive thinking, not being able to sleep, having times where I isolate myself to pull it together at home and at work. The first week on 150mg was tough (most of the side-effects listed above were present). I decided to ask my doctor for a sleep aid, Ambien CR was prescribed. Since starting the sleep aid, things have been much better. I feel more energetic and less on edge (now on 300mg). My recommendation to anyone with anxiety symptoms is to combine Wellbutrin with another drug to even you out- otherwise, the wellbutrin exacerbates the anxiety you already have.

I was told by my doctor that this pill had the least amount of side effects. If you want to feel and look like crap while on this medication, take it. You will feel so great about yourself once the medicaiton settles in.

controlled BP well but started with many side effects after taking for 2 months
