Depression Medication. Paxil versus Wellbutrin, my Experience.

This is a blog telling you guys about my experience with both paxil and wellbutrin, as well as talk a bit about zoloft. It might come as a surprise to my viewers that I have been diagnosed with depression, but I feel that this is an important topic, as people with depression should take medication because it has changed my life and could potentially change theres.

I forgot to mention that Wellbutrin is slightly more expensive than Paxil. With our insurance, paxil (10 mg) was only about 15 cents for a month supply, and Wellbutrin (150 mg) is about $9.50 for a month supply. I don't know how much this varies depending on your insurance, but I know that Paxil is known for being cheap.

Also, with Wellbutrin you CANNOT drink alcohol. I drank one (yes, one) beer when I started taking wellbutrin and it made me throw up all night. Horrible. so, if you drink you might want to consider that when choosing an anti-depressent. Paxil did the same thing to me, but not as immediate as WellButrin.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. DO NOT SELF-PERSCRIBE ANYTHING TO YOURSELF, AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT WHICH DEPRESSION MEDICATION COULD POTENTIALLY WORK BEST FOR YOU. THIS IS JUST MY EXPERIENCE, AND YOURS COULD VARY COMPLETELY.

@paniccat Calm down.

So...pro tip. 190 for someone who is 5'7" isn't all that big...could be, if they're naturally petite, but for a a lot of people, I doubt it would constitute being "very big".

[EWilsonLife]

@QuackerSnap I understand, I caught that. I'm not very good at weight estimations.

"Paxil take long to get out of your system"??

Wrong, it has the shortest (one of the shortest) half-lives making it impossible to quit cold turkey.. meaning it leaves ur system so quick ur body (mind) craves more.

[EWilsonLife]

@chimpthepimp Hard because it makes you crave it so badly. idk.

@KomaKidz123 I'm sorry for you because you feel the need to insult me to feel better about yourself. You have a beautiful voice by the way! Have a good day.

@oxforddictonary You really need to consider if you have a lot of anxiety in your life before you try Wellbutrin. Paxil helps with people that have depression and also helps with social anxiety. Wellbutrin on the other hand, though it does a number on depression, does NOT help with anxiety. In fact, it makes it WORSE for many people. So, if you're a person that has anxiety, make sure you consider this.

hi...i took both paxil and wellbutrin as well. You've been through a lot. I hope your doing okay. I agree that Wellbutrin is better than paxil for the same reason as you. I take lamictal right now tho, but I might go back to Wellbutrin if I get lonely and depressed. great video....thx

I don't understand why people make such hateful comments in a serious topic.I really don't understand what's the point of doing this. She's talking about a desease not a shallow subject. Anyway my experience with antidepressants was horrible. I mean I felt like a zombie, most of the time, no emotions at all and when I wasn't feeling like that I was in a major state of anger. Withdraw is hell.I made a decision of never took any antidepressants again in my life.
