Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Wellbutrin vs. Celexa

I have been taking Wellbutrin for about 4 months now. For about the first 3 weeks, my constipation was completely gone!! I was having movements 2 to 3 times daily!! It was great. Buut, that all disappeared abruptly. My constipation came back with a vengeance. I was not taking Wellbutrin for IBS though. There were no sexual side effects for me ... and I also lost about 8lbs. I am actually in the process of weaning myself off of Wellbutrin now, due to the fact that it just isnt working. Increased sex drive is actually one of the main things Wellbutrin is known for ... weight loss is as well. This is a great website for comments about wellbutrin from other people http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=18644&name=WELLBUTRIN My side effects were very mild .. which is RARE for me. I have never had an AD that didn't make me feel horribly loopy and detached. I think its worth a shot ... just be extra cautious about the constipation, b/c it definitely did make mine much worse.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!!
