Bupropion vs Venlafaxine
 | Bupropion |  | Venlafaxine |  |
| Bupropion is an antidepressant used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression, other mental/mood disorders, and smoking cessation. Antidepressants can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, studies have shown that a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience new or worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. Therefore, it is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication, even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition. | Venlafaxine is used to treat depression. It may improve your mood and energy level, and may help restore your interest in daily living. Venlafaxine is known as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (serotonin and norepinephrine) in the brain. | |||

Will call dr tomorrow, don't like the generic for welbutrin, so I guess it ... Using 300mg XL (150mg not enough).

Been on the drug for several months now and everytime I am unable to get my prescription on time I have unbearable dreams and excessive sweating.

I've been on the drug since I was 14. While it helped with my depression, it has had long lasting side effects. Whenever I miss a dosage I go through crippling withdrawals. One time i ran out of a refill and went 2 days without it. I slept for 20 hours straight and wasn't able to wake up. Now I'm 22 and I've been trying to get off this drug for over a year.
