I've been on Wellbutrin XL 150mg for a few months now, and it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. Initially, I experienced some vivid dreams and a bit of nervousness, but those have settled down. I've heard it can also help with smoking cessation, which is a bonus since I've been trying to quit. Has anyone else had a similar experience with quitting smoking while on Wellbutrin? Also, how long did it take for the side effects to calm down for you? Any other tips or stories are welcome!

I had a really rough time with the vivid dreams too. Like, I thought I was in a horror movie kind of rough. But I found that taking it with food helped a lot. I wish I read the instructions better as I didn't know it could help you quit smoking.

Make sure to talk to your doctor if you experience any changes in your eyesight. My friend had an eye exam and it turns out she was at risk for some eye issues. It's scary stuff!

I've been on Wellbutrin for a year now, and honestly, it's been a game changer. I noticed a significant improvement in my mood within a few weeks. I did have some headaches at the beginning, but they went away after a month.

I noticed some mild dizziness and dry mouth, but nothing too bad. I also had some issues with constipation at first, but that cleared up quickly.

I had a weird experience where I thought I was having a seizure, but it turned out to be a side effect. Talk to your doctor immediately if you experience any of the serious side effects. And honestly, if you experience changes in your vision let your doctor know.

It's a shame more people don't know about this. I've been on it for depression but it really helped with anxiety as well. I've even started to exercise more and eat healthier. I feel like I'm more in control of my life.

I've been on it for a while now and I've noticed I have strange dreams every night. It's kind of annoying but it's worth it because my mood is so much better.
