Some people notice a difference within the first few days and weeks, but it is suggested that you will not see the full results until 6-8 weeks. However, if it has been a few weeks and you have not felt any change at all, call your physician.
I think it depends...
I would say uhhh 1-3 days :) Depending on liver function/age/enzymatics
Its DRI and NRI and not a SSRI or SRI...
SSRIs take longer to take effect I think...
Ask your doctor

Antidepressants may take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month for the full effects to be felt. Increasing a dose can be much the same.
Wellbutrin may take up to thirty days to get into the system. Then the medication will start to show signs of effectiveness and should be taken as directed.
For as long as your doctor thinks you need it. If you are getting results from it then stay on it, otherwise talk to your doctor about another anti-depressant. Good luck!
Wellbutrin isn't a MAO inhibitor...it works in the brain in a totally different way than MAO inhibitors drugs. Google Wellbutrin and read all about it.
Wellbutrin and Lexapro work on different brain chemistries. Wellbutrin works on the dopamine while Lexapro works on Seratonin. Ten mg of Lexapro is a small dose. Wellbutrin can be taken twice a day to prolong its efficacy in conjunction with the Lexapro taken once. This is a standad therapy.
Of course, I must insist that you speak with your doctor about this, however... It is thought, but not completely proven, that Wellbutrin works primarily on dopamine and norepinephrine, while SamE and 5-HTP affect serotonin. This would lead one to believe that this combination is safe, personally I have taken Wellbutrin and 5-HTP together with no side effects. Yet again, ask your doctor before combining a prescription drug with any other drug, chemical or herb.
effexor and zoloft they are all (ssri) drugs wellbutrin is not it works in a different way
it works immediately
Yes, I've been doing it for over a year and have no issuse as long as your blood pressure remains normal and consistant.
Well, since Wellbutrin isn't a MAO inhibitor, it can be taken along with Celexa.

You might need a nap. But Wellbutrin tends to increase energy while Benadryl causes drowsiness, so they might cancel each other out. As a Wellbutrin user, I find that taking a 24 hour allergy medication before bed is sufficient.
No. There is no benzoyleconine is Wellbutrin. The chemical name of Wellbutrin is bupropion. Benzoyleconine is a metabolite of cocaine.
Drinking while taking Wellbutrin isn't dangerous per se - Wellbutrin just amplifies the effects of alcohol. I take Wellbutrin and drink and nothing bad has happened to me, but I do need to drink less. If you're still concerned, Wellbutrin has a half-life of ~21 hours, so it will be mostly cleared from your body in 2 or 3 days. I haven't found any difficulties with drinking alcohol on Wellbutrin, although I am only on 150 mg daily. I've read that it increases risk of seizures, which is higher with Wellbutrin as it is. Just be careful about how much you drink, I would say, or even better -- ask your doctor. _______________________________________________________________ I believe that the above information is incorrect. My pharmacist told me and I've read online that when you drink alcohol while on wellbutrin it empties the stores of wellbutrin that youre body/brain has accumulated since you started. Many people go into wellbutrin withdrawal after they drink and feel really bad for days or weeks. Ive been through it, its HORRIBLE.
