I had just started to try antidepressants. I was first described the generic brand of Wellbutrin XL by Tevic. I had less pain almost immediately after starting on the low dose. I had some strange "rush" like sensations. It was almost too much. Then some snapping at the bit about mid day. Within two weeks I was itching severely and could not stop. It took about 5 weeks before I was back to normal. After trying another med that had failed, but doctor prescribed me the Brand name Wel... View full comment

I told my daughter not to take the shots, it was too new and was unfortable with it and recommended she not have it. When she went for physical the doctor recommened she have it. She said she didn't want it, but it felt like it was being forced a bit, so she took it. She didn't feel well for a couple of weeks afterwards. She wasn't sleeping well and she felt like she was itchy. The doctor persuaded her again to receive the second shot. I was furious because now there were reports of yo... View full comment
