I am 90% sure your upper gum issue is from mouth breathing during sleep. Perhaps the medicine puts you in a deeper plane of sleep than before. If it were a systemic issue, the lower gums would be affected to the same degree. Have your dentist make you a simple upper "bleach tray". Tell him/her what it is for so they will not trim the tray to just fit around the teeth. It should extend as far on the gum as comfortable. Then at bedtime, put a thin film of vaseline over the gum, then insert the bleach tray. I feel very sure you will get rid of your gum problem. I have many patients with upper sore gums, all caused by mouth breathing during sleep. Good luck. do not buy the drugstore bleach tray that you fit---waste of money I am a dentist and also on wellbutrin for depression.

Your symptoms sound more like your ceasing taking Celexa than it does beginning the WB. I speak from experience. My Paxil withdrawal nearly led me to hospitalization from the severe symptoms. And I'm not alone; almost 1.2 million people have researched Paxil withdrawal at quitpaxil.org. Btw, not affiliated. Just still fighting the worst headache of my life! It's lasted 3 weeks and no drug is giving me relief. Stopping taking antidepressants, especially Paxil for example, will cause withdrawal symptoms that can last up to 6 weeks for some people.

Truly. Wellbutrin SR 300 mg HAS caused tremendous hypersexuality for me. I have always had a healthy appetite but due to depression, I began to take Paxil a year ago. BTW avoid PAXIL if at all possible! I decided to come off the Paxil, which I was concurrently taking with the Wellbutrin, because I had lost the ability to orgasm. When I could, they were extremely weak, unsatisfying, and took a long time to reach. I stopped taking the Paxil 3 weeks ago, which btw causes tremendous withdrawal symptoms that can totally incapacitate you. I have not been able to turn my head for three weeks without nearly vomiting, and it carries explosive headaches for which I had to go on chemo pain drugs to treat. At any rate, two days after stopping taking the Paxil, while still taking the Wellbutrin, I experienced 4 orgasms within 5 minutes of sex with my partner. Like a reader posted before me, you constantly tingle and feel desire. I find myself getting aroused at seeing a very muscular man, and begin to get wet (sorry for the detail). Crazily enough my bf and I watched a very short p0rn trailer together, and I began to orgasm without even being touched! I do not know about being debilitated, but I think about sex constantly and go into my bathroom during the day and masturbate to completion up to 6-9 times. Now, know that these are not small orgasms, but intense, earth shattering ones. I have begun to feel like a freak of nature. Is there anyone else like me? I am not complaining but I am getting very distracted! Wow I thought I had become a freak of nature. Truly. Wellbutrin SR 300 mg HAS caused tremendous hypersexuality for me.

Each month my Psychiatrist said "help?" me answer: "nothing" ok lets up the dosage, or if at max? We changed to another med and I went thru them ALL. He was Dr of ZERO words, I was in and out in 5 minutes max with new RX I found little cold, felt he should chat a bit ANYWAYS, I was at 450 mg day Wellbutrin and said "Doc, I have SMALLEST feeling a door is opening and I see some light, let me go over to the 600 mg level as this is like the last med........he agreed BUT THIS time he said something: "HAVE A GOOD SEX LIFE" I thought "what the heck he say anything one, and two, WHY THAT??? What does he know I do not? I found out, 4 orgasms a day not abnormal and really INTENSE/felt like head exploding.........that I felt is a problem but didnt want to give it up as LOVED the feeling. I started x-dressing home only as hottest looking thing u ever seen, I fell on it by accident, put wifes nylon on looked in mirror and said "please mirror say NO" but it just said OH YEAH BB, surprise, and just looking at self in nylons made me crazy and orgasms even stronger. Well then, red toes, anklet, high open toes, slim trim, wig, and other clothing to make it as GOOD AS COULD GET IT and wow it was crazy.........I am hetro, still am always will be, married 31+ & NOT CHANGING EVER!!!! I read 95% x-dressers hetro and stay that way........if I had been ugly? I would trashed it all, but I totally SMOKED and went on alt.binaries.crossdressers and posted my pictures, people went CRAZY. So then I wanted the thrill of people seeing me live on IRC and programs handle video and sometimes 15 people watch me get off and it was ultimate.......THEN I had anxiety problems, other issues, started taking "slow down" meds and I quit dressing and sex went back to normal as COUNTERED by lot other drugs. I did it 2 years age 34, 35, 15 yrs later........now I started failing liver tests so decide NO PILL IN MOUTH unless it is a MUST and I take Wellbutrin SR 600 mg day on its own again and I found myself with head exploding again and intense 3 - 4 times /a day need for orgasm, started the crossdress thing.......well I am in 50's but guess what, STILL SMOKE SERVERS DOWN when x-dress and it is not impressing people, it is me looking at self and going OMG U(me) look so sexy, I could marry my hand and be in love, the other stuff all followed again but that just is me going to the MAX.......as remember now, I failed liver tests so stopped everything except Wellbutrin SR 600 mg and the sex crazed intense need returned. I love people to watch as it adds to it, not ever left house, just using internet, now it much more easy to play this type game. NOW I NOW WHY DOC SAID "Have a good sex life"............I find myself pushing more and more, not going to go out or anything but am scared it seems to be my only thing with kids gone, became disabled and I am scared so my new psychiatrist offered some counter RX's but I can't give it away and dont take the meds........it is very ADDICTING to have orgasms that are so GOOD 2x day now... I am scared tho, feel going to get in trouble or something and think gonna have to give it up and take the meds...........long story but it is my life and I KNOW IT IS THE WELLBUTRIN as it hit like a hammer, then got stopped by other meds, NOW I got hit by HAMMER EXACT SAME WAY so I am on my life positive it is the Wellbutrin...........what is the right thing to do? I shave legs even got so crazy with it...........but I am hetro, not changing............just think it is wrong and should STOP IT. Hope this helps as telling someone HELPS ME A LOT.

The Zoloft is working, but the sexual side effects are horrible. I have seen on other post doctors supplmenting Wellbutrin with Zoloft and this seems to help. Has anyone had luck with this?? I scheduled to see the doctor again on Monday and thought I would bring this up. (no pun intended) I have been taking Zoloft for 1 year now after being on Prozac for 6 years, I have OCD and anxitey.

I think of sex non-stop & to distraction and have started having interesting sexual fantasies. I started taking it due to depression and binge-eating disorder. It is really helping with both (along with a small amount of Buspar to counteract the anger Wellbutrin can cause). I am enjoying the horniness to a certain extent, but hope my sex drive decreases from off the charts to medium/high soon (it was already high to begin with). Another positive about Wellbutrin is the reduction in my social anxiety - I just don't really care what people think anymore and am not nervous in crowded places.

When I'm walking, when I drive, when I'm eating dinner. Note: you won't get any positive sexual side effect if you don't work out. Fitness helps your libido as well. I'm 34 and I feel like I was 20. I get so horny sometimes, I end up experimenting like I was back in college. Man.... love this antidepressant. it’s been a few years since I’ve been taking bupropion. stayed at 150mg/day and don’t crave smoke anymore; however, I crave sex almost every hour.
