Struggling with Wellbutrin Side Effects

I’m on my second week of Wellbutrin, I feel awful, in bed for 3 days so far from depression. My doctor said it’ll get better and that it’s just my brain and body adjusting to the meds.

It really depends on how your liver processes meds, ask if a gene site test could be considered medically necessary cause if he says yes then insurance will cover as much as they will. Though I will say insurance is sometimes iffy on it if you haven't tried at least like 5 different meds of different groups (SSRIs, SNRIs, ect.). This way you can tell if the class of med could be the issue

But its usually like 60$ to my memory, though it's been a few years since I requested one be done. I hope it's helpful

Wellbutrin takes a few weeks (max 8 weeks), to take effect for depression. Usually you won’t notice anything for a week or two.

is it normal for it to make you feel worse before it starts to get better?

Will it actually get better & how long will it take?
