Missed period, 3 negative tests, Wellbutrin

[stickynikki]

Okay. I was supposed to start my period around the 15th/16th of May. About a week ago I had an intense stabbing abdominal pain about around where the small intestine is. (which I've had before). About when my period was supposed to start, I had mild cramps. Now I am discharging and it sometimes feels like I started when I didn't. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests, all negative. I am on Wellbutrin XL, which I hear can cause missed and late periods. What do you think?

i started taking wellbutrin september 1st ( first time i've ever started taking medicine like this) and it seems like i get my period every two weeks. I'm on birth control and i'm always on time. I don't know whats wrong considering all the stories i'm reading everyone is late or their period is skipped. I havent liked the way the wellbutrin has made me feel so my doctor is switching my medicine but i have to wean off of this first. I hope my period goes back to being on schedule with this new medicine

this is just my opinion but I think this medication is very very bad for your health and dont reccomend taking it. I was not on well butrin very long a month or so when I decided to stop taking it.. I had never experienced a panic attack, trouble sleeping or a missed period (besides my pregancy) before I started taking this medication. It says its supposed to help with depression and anxiety and what not but all it has done is increased all of these things. I think this makes it very obvious the affects and chemicals they are putting in these medications are just unnatural and unhealthy.... for your own good I suggest you stop taking it or try something new. I just cant see how this can be good for anyone. (as well as douching, this causes an imbalance of natural chemicals and tend to cause more problems than they cure.) like I said this is just my personal opinion so please do not take offense.

I have been on Wellbutrin XL 150 mg for about a month and a half. I really do not feel any difference. I was put on it for mild depression and loss of energy, but I still feel like I am floating through my days and can't wait to go home and crawl into bed. I should also mention I am on a very small dose of beta blockers for my atrial fibrillation (which is meant to decrease my heart rate). Should I increase to the 300 mg dose? I am concerned about doing this, as this is my first time on any anti-depressant and I would eventually like to wean myself off.
Also, have any women noticed their periods are late or non-existent? I am a week late in my period, and I am NEVER late. I will be going to get a pregnancy test done, but I am fairly certain I am not pregnant. I also noticed very heavy cramping yesterday that would signal the start of my period, but nothing happened.
I would appreciate any feedback!
Thank you.

Just chiming in here with everyone: ten days late, negative test, on Wellbutrin 150 for four weeks.  I imagine this might have something to do with how changing neurotransmitter levels such as dopamine might have an overall effect on our hormones.

I have been on 150 mg of Wellbutrin XL for about 2 months now since I have experienced a depression relapse. My first period while taking the medication was right on time, but I am still waiting for this month's to start. I'm a week late and have taken 2 pregnancy tests...both negative. I am not taking bc and I have a 5 month old son. I heard that you are more fertile the year after you deliver, so I thought that pregnancy might be a posibility. After reading this I am definitely thinking it's the meds. I took 150 mg of the regular Wellbutrin twice daily for 2 years about 3-4 years ago and never had a problem with menstruation, so this is strange.

I am also on welbutrin xl and have always had regular periods. Been taking this drug for a month or so and now I am 5 days late. Feel like I could start at any time but nothing. I am so sick feeling and just want to sleep all the time. 3 negative preg tests though so I am sure I am not preg. I have had a tubal about 11 years ago so I am pretty sure I am not preg.
