This medication has changed my life! Constant Negative thinking and ruminating has largely subsided. It has majorly helped with my executive functioning. I’m able to accomplish so much more in a day and it’s also really helping with chronic fatigue. I really wish I would have tried this 20 years ago when my major depressive disorder began. I can’t say enough about how my life has improved. I’ve almost completely quit drinking alcohol and certainly I’ve stopped abusing alcohol as a means for self medication. I resisted western meds for years and now I can’t be more grateful that I tried this.

I take a low dose of Wellbutrin three times a day and it is a miracle… I go to sleep by 8 pm, wake up at 5:00/5:30 am well rested and ready to get my day started. I am less triggered and practicing other healthy daily habits. The ruminating negative thoughts have gone and an increase in mood. Individual/group therapy, better eating habits, exercise, and engagement in meaningful activities has changed my life.

Bupropion has benefits but I can honestly say that it is hard to come off of, very hard. The discontinuation syndrome twitches can be offset by magnesium and potassium. One other thing I found was that it removed the desire or urge to advance. I found myself very complacent and at peace with my life situation, which was not great. I had no umph, motivation, inspiration, ambition, drive, etc. I found that I was dressed good enough, clean enough, healthy enough, social enough, active enough, neat enough, etc.

Not the original poster but, I've been taking the SR form at 150mg twice per day for ADHD over the past 19 months. One first thing in the morning +-7am and the second at 3 to 4pm, if the second dose is taken later then getting to sleep is delayed so I skip the second dose. Still on the coffee @ one to two cups per day and sometimes more but not a full pot during the day as I used to drink it (at work it was one pot for me and one pot for 10 others and that amount even late in the day didn't interfere with my sleep). Bupropion got me through the last six months of the circus S---show before I retired, loved the job but... Depending on what I'm doing I have no problem with getting up in the morning, if nothing then I might sleep in a bit unlike before with hitting the snooze button then rushing to get to work late. Overall it has been positive, my doctor at the time wouldn't prescribe me any of the stimulants due to my past addiction issues (speed, alcohol, nicotine) and my usage of cannabis (legal in Canada) even though research shows very little risk for adults to become addicted/misuse them with past addiction issues - maybe it is because we have learned our risk and weakness.

I definitely wasn't depressed, I was just so far on the opposite side of spectrum that my brain wouldn't turn off and I would've rather had been depressed.

I am trying this (only 3 days in). I had been misdiagnosed with anxiety my entire life but very recently found out it is actually adult ADHD (negligent doctors missed it my whole life before I had to work it out and then have it confirmed by a psychiatrist). Doctors put me on multiple SSRIs this year and I have never felt worse in my life. My intrusive thoughts have been unbearable and I've felt extra hyper. The last 12 months of my life has been utter hell which was completely unnecessary if psychiatrists could do their jobs. I am desperate for Bupropion to work for me as I prefer it over stimulant ADHD medicine for many reasons. I am worried because I know Bupropion is weaker than stimulants but at least it targets the correct neurotransmitters in ADHD (and thank God no Serotonin). If it doesn't work will have to unfortunately look at stimulants. My main issue is ruminating, intrusive thoughts, and not being able to shut down my chaotic brain.

Sometimes I would go to the kitchen to grab something and as soon as I entered I would zone out for a moment and forget why I was there in the first place. It honestly felt like I lost 20 IQ. And the weird thing is that these side-effects aren't mentioned anywhere. But from searching Reddit, apperantly I wasn't the only one.

Hi Weronika, I can't comment on your specific case but bupropion has been associated with decreased appetite and significant weight loss. I have not found any info regarding when decreased appetite tends to occur, but it's entirely possible that this side effect could emerge weeks after staring the medication. If weight loss is bothersome, another type of antidepressant (ssri, snri, mirtazapine) might be more appropriate. Talk to you healthcare provider for more info. Hope this helps!

Stopped having sex and haven't cared about male involvement for 20 years. I'm on Wellbutrin now for about 5 years.At least I'm super creative again (I'm a floral designer) and music and art are back in my little life. Panic attacks come on sometimes, but I can stop them with Ativan.

Is it safe to take this medication with clonazepam? I am not weaning or lowering my clonazepam so it will still be there. You mentioned that it is not advised to take with benzos when they are being discontinued because of the seizure threshold issue. However, staying on a benzo, is it okay to add Wellbutrin?

I've been taking both for months and everything is going well... half of 2 mg clonazepam pill, sometimes the entire pill and that's it...at about 8 in the morning i take my first dose of 150 mg xl...and at 2 pm my second...Hope this info helps you..btw I'm 63 :) Indeed i feel grrrreattt lol

Is there an antidepressant which only focuses on dopamine? Reason being is that I have abstained from a pornography addiction but am not having sex or other stimulation. The so called science behind the "no fap" movement argues that the dopamine hits are what make the activity addictive. And since I'm no longer getting those hits, my brain is severely experiencing a deficit in dopamine, and I need medical help/advice. Anyone help please?

I hear ya brother. Give it sometimes for your dopamine to heal, maybe try fixing your dopamine system. Search for more plates more dates dopamine healing or something like that. I'm planning on giving that a try and then hopping on Wellbutrin

I smoke weed alot. Got buproprion prescribed so i wouldnt be so dependant on marijuana. This drug supposedly sets in over the course of a few weeks but it took about 8 hours after my first pill, and i realized it was getting me rlly rlly high in an uncomfortable way. I caught myself driving through a 35 going 70 and i just couldnt believe how fast i was going. I thought my spedometer had fucked up. This substance is beyond odd and should be treated with great care untill youre brain chemistry has comfortably associated itself with this medication

Im currently on 30mg on Duloxetine, while my anxiety is not nearly as severe as other people, it is enough to get in the way of my job. Duloxetine makes me HELL TIRED, I feel lethargic and i need to take 200mg-400mg of cafffeine daily just to function. It's not worth it's in my opinion. Im considering Bupropion, many people have told me about this.

It did absolutely nothing for me. Maybe because i'm not depressed. I told my physician assistant that i had existential ennui and i was losing interest in ... but that i think that's the natural way of things in your late sixties. Then she said let's put you on wellbutrin. I went up to three hundred milligrams and it basically had no effect on me. I tapered off of it in a week to ten days with no ramifications. On the other hand Kratom works great for me... But I think i'm addicted to it and it's not working as well as it used to. Better living through chemistry yes... but you need to balance your equations. 😝

How does Wellbutrin feel compared to adderall/stimulants? I have ADD and anxiety/depression, and have been on stimulants for a decade. Now, the side effects of adderrall-horrible anxiety, overactive CNS, etc- have gotten really bad for me, and I am trying to stop adderall. Adderall has become way too intense for me even at a low dose, and is wreaking havoc on my body and causing dealt bad anxiety every day. My doc suggested Wellbutrin. I am concerned that it will feel just like adderall, with all the similar side effects I am trying to get away from. Can someone advise me on this? Does Wellbutrin feel at all similar to adderall in this regard? I don’t want another med that causes increased anxiety.

Everything I've read about Wellbutrin and alcohol says they don't mix well. But I asked my doctor about it and he says that alcohol is fine and there is little risk unless you are prone to seizures. I'm not sure what to think anymore. I maybe have 4-5 beers a week, no more than two on any given day. In terms of caffeine, I notice that my tendency to get easily agitated has gotten way higher. It's much easier for me to get stressed out at work or snap at a customer. Overall, I'm glad I take it, but these are my two concerns.
