Just prescribed welbutrin xl(buproprion) 150mg today. Never been on any kind of psych meds before but heard it helps reduce smoking cravings and might help with my generalized anxiety. Experiences/thoughts on it?

Did literal jack shit for me. I felt exactly the same on it. Come to think of it, every medication I was on never had an effect on me. Seroquel made me tired as fuck but that's it.

I'm on it, works great for the smoking, but Welbutrin is more of an "activating" anti-depressant so it doesn't work as well as others when it comes to anxiety

I tried Lexapro for my anxiety but I got the side effect of having difficulty cumming, and when I did cum, it was usually a pathetic load that didn't even feel great. It worked awsome with the anxiety though

Welbutrin doesnt mess with my dick and handles my anxiety well enough, plus it helped me lose some weight

Those meds are strange, do different shit for everybody

I went from smoking 2pks+ a day to like half a pack and felt like I was on half a hit of acid when I blazed, maybe like a quarter hit without green.

I never stayed on em long enough to even out.

>difficulty cumming

Forgot about this, that's all I remember from wel

It turns my sad feelings onto angry ones so I had to stop taking it but I've known people who said it works for them. Brain chemistry is crazy like that.

wow

I could use to lose weight too so sounds good. Most of mine is stress weight, obvious because the only place I retain fat is my midsection. I am just always like 6-7/10 strung. Don't really want to be on benzos though because then I need a note for work. I drive large vehicles with passengers a lot so I don't want to have that smear on my work file that I'm doing so on benzos even though a doctor said it was ok.

I have a lot of angry feelings already so maybe it will turn them into sad ones? I think sadness is probably less harmful for your health. Less cortisol release & no high BP/heart rate constantly.

I started 300mg of Welbutrin in late March. Less than a week after I started it, I had a massive anxiety attack during a concert I was in and ran off of a stage midperformance. I then spent the next 4 hours hiding and running from friends on my college campus, because I thought they were going to get me expelled from school and kicked out of my fraternity. It sounds really stupid and almost cringeworthy, but it was totally all in my head and caused by the meds. I don't really remember a whole lot of the experience, and I don't remember making any of those decisions to run, hide, freak out, etc. I also ate half of the collar of the undershirt I was wearing. That made for a weird laundry day...

>It turns my sad feelings onto angry ones

Same. But to me it was better to be angry than sad. I recently got into meditating and that seems to have extinguished the anger. But if you're someone with anger issues then I would use caution while on it

Good call, you don't want to be on benzos. There are tons of SSRIs and other anti-depressants/anxiety meds out there, the trick is finding one that is right for you

Like most anti-depressants, it's hit-or-miss: Some people respond really well to NDRI's like that, some of us respond much better to SSRI's like Zoloft. If it doesn't work, or you get worse, make sure to let the doc know, they'll probably try a different class of medication.

Well, that is a fuckton on Welbutrin. Usually docs don't prescribe more than 150mg because any more than that you don't really see much benefit. Have you ever tried Paxil? That's more of a "calming" med, rather than Welbutrin which is more "activating"

I pretty much want to punch someone in the head every day. Like some people say it, but literally the only thing that keeps me from picking physical fights is that I have a clean record to maintain for work. Otherwise I'd probably unload on multiple people a day with my words, probably leading to a fight.

I take propranol for chest pain / work anxiety

And speed because I stopped giving a fuck about suffocating in my own home from crippling fear years ago.

nope. This was the first time I had ever been on antidepressants.

The first month I took wel everything was great. Uplifted spirits, fucking like a pornstar. Subsequent months, angry as hell and couldn't get hard to save my life. When I did suffered server pe.

When I to an SSRI ( Prozac) it made it harder and less worth it to get my rocks off and it gave me an enlarged prostate (thankfully when I switched form that it got better)

Just another casualty of Big Pharma

How old are you, how close have you come to losing your virginity, and how many hundreds of CP photos do you have?

Basement of mom's or grandma's?

>has history of chest pain
>takes speed

oh yeah, that can't fail

Ill take 24 for 500 Alex!

did you forget the part where I gave up being a prisoner to my "condition"

Are you me user? They had me on 450mg of welbutrin. Don't remember the Seroquel but made me eat a fuck ton and sleep all day

I've had both Wellbutrin and lexapro. Hated lexapro. If you beat off regularly then expect to do it furiously. Wellbutrin fixed that but it didn't do much for me on depression. I stopped taking it and got a girlfriend and a dog.

Not poster but it is anxiety chest pain not real oxygen deficient cardiac tissue chest pain. Propranolol just lowers force, rate, automatic its, and contractility of the cardiac muscles. Which in turn will lower bp/lessen anxiety. He's basically contradicting it, wasting his money, by being on speed tho.

is that meth or just some kinda powder?
i used to meth for a few years and ended up shooting it too, it was good at first but now i can hardly control my ability to hold my bladder i dont know why either
it was way worse when high on meth too

I dont take it when I take speed , thats just foolsih , as you stated.

If you snort all of it in one sitting you will live forever

I'm just giving you a hard time bro. I'm a basement dwelling faggot too as an OP here generally is.

In Europe Speed paste is a bigger thing than speed powders its called Base,Phet and Gear here. anyone with an A level in chemistry and access to basic houshold chemicals can pharma Speed paste /Base, Just be careful with your acetone.

Prescription pills are bad for you.

yeah op i am prescribed that, what it does is release adrenaline in your brain and some other endorphins and it can be kinda good. its better than like ssris like zoloft and shit just expect the day to fly by in no time at all when u first start taking it

at one point my doc prescribed me 450 mg a day

meh im not gonna use meth or speed anymore anyway. i like legal speed like vyvanse and adderall and only when im prescribed it with my own steady supply i actually prefer those way more because they are more clean than cut meth and shit u know

MY propranolol does the exact opposite its stops you releasing adrenaline and norepinephrine basically kills the fight or flight response.

its surprisingly clean if you wash it with acetone, 0.2g can keep you up for 14 plus hours if you wash/purify it right.

Read into it you probably have all the materials in your house to get started.

well if you are prescribed propranolol and wellbutrin that doesnt make much sense to me. and often doctors do stupid shit like that without that kinda knowledge or they have that knowledge and believe in prescribing like that but that just seems weird to me but docs do stupid shit like that all the time.

but if u struggle with severe depression and u just want the pain to go away and u prefer to feel the kinda stimulated zombie effect wellbutrin gives u then do it

i prefer feeling that way because my depression is just too bad

textfiles.com/uploads/methmethod.txt

the method I use.

Its only really in my work I get bad attacks, due to the nature of it, Im responsible for the workloads of 14 other people and when shit goes wrong it really goes wrong.

im good fam because getting caught in america for that they will put me away forever and im too pretty to go to prison

they will put me away here to, But remember user on the internet No one knows you're a dog.

Honestly I find it kinda disturbing that literally everyone needs anti-depressants. I think it has something to do with our animal brain not evolving at the pace that our civilization and technology progresses, so it's like trying to jam a square peg in a round hole

I can't think of any other solution rather than just saying fuck it to everything and living in the woods as a hunter/gatherer like nature intended

I would never see myself doing that though, because I love porn, pizza, and videogames

well i mean go ahead and give it a shot, it will ease up on you after taking it for a few weeks but at first it will be a little weird feeling like butterflys, i would advise u to not drink caffeine or much sugar along with wellbutrin at first because it will give u bad anxiety because it is stimulating

oh and also prepare to lose a lil sleep but u shuld be ok fam,

woof woof

blame the hormones in your meat, the bleaches in your water. look it up pal as the mass production of food has emerged and the ability to infuse hormones into foods has come to prominence to increase yield alot of people especially men in the last 40 or so years have severely lowered testosterone, one theory even goes to support the concept that in alot of our drinkable waters and foods are estrogen rich additives left over from animal doping.

bipolar type 1?

seroquel literally turned me into a fat lethargic zombie. glad when I turned 18 i took myself off that shit

That is not OP, I am OP and am on nothing but wellbutrin I was prescribed today. I don't really have depression much but have bad anxiety and high BP and smoke. Wellbutrin releases norepinephrine and dopamine, not adrenaline. Norepinephrine and dopamine are pleasure hormones, not fight or flight. Propranolol and wellbutrin would not counteract each other. You'd just be a happy sloth instead of just happy, with the addition of propranolol, in theory of a layman.

Just don't get on chantix

norepinephrine is adrenaline fam look it up

I was on it about a year ago... turned out I was allergic to it so it made me break out into hives... not on it long enough to see if it worked

por que?

OP here, been there, didn't do much for me other than I would widely awaken in the midst of the night for no reason. Plus cost is absurd.

also look at the average man from now and the avergae man from 1950 see how much smaller thye are because of a non diversified diet and hormone infused foods, it does sound crackpot I know but look at this.

very commonly bred and engineered to not inhibit muscle growth. Quite scary.

I was put on 300mg when I had severe depression from around 17 - 19 years old. It made me feel really strange and I think it may have had long term effects on my ability to feel certain emotions as strongly as I could before.

I also heard that it works for a lot of people... So, talk to a couple doctors if you can and see what they think of welbutrin.

Wasn't strong enough. Switched to sertraline hcl and abilify. Much more mellow

>17-19 years old

I know that feel bro

It should be a crime to put kids in shit when they're still developing. I was fucking 12 and put in a boat load of lithium and anti psychotics.

Hmmm maybe I was thinking of something else. So basically wellbutrin is like blowing a load in a porn star on your lap while you're barreling down the highway at 150mph on a ducati. Sounds awesome. Lol

you couldn't have said this any better... in my opinion society is moving much to fast. I'm not having children because I don't want them to grow up in a society that sets them up for failure

too* fuck

OP here I think my biggest challenge will be caffeine reduction...which appears to be a warning to heed because of increase anxiety & seizures...I drink like a pot and a half of motor oil grade coffee a day.

wellbutrin is an anticholinergic. I didn't know that when i started but it makes sense because its used to stop smoking. it's a nicotinic receptor antagonist.

i'm tapering off it now, after having been on for about three years. i don't like the alzheimer's risk for long term use of anticholinergics. wellbutrin doesn't appear to do that much in my day to day life, especially when compared to SSRIs like lexapro.

I literally got the same meds Sunday. Been taking them since Monday. Anti-depressants are not supposed to be noticeably effective until a few weeks in. So far I've maybe felt a bit better, but I did have the increased thoughts of suicide and a bit more anxiety.

I tried Vyybrid years ago (had depression most of my life really, tried drugs then, stopped after two didn't work) and it gave me the runs to hell and a headache and belly ache. Was not cool man. Although apparently they are supposed to be the "less side effects" one, so lucky me.

(me)
OP, you sound like me. Are you also in college? In the midwest?

Missouri. Not in college. Firefighter/Paramedic.

I see. The no negative side effects so far is already pretty good compared to my last two tries. Hopefully this + working out + counseling will end my problems.

Yeah I mainly got it for smoking cessation but my doctor also said it might help with my anxiety which is like 6/10 pretty much all the time.

My doc said is was the only anti-depressant that isn't supposed to help anxiety. Idk, whatever works.

Lol that's doctors for you. I would think it would a but because it helps you release more feel good hormones/not give a fuck, and most anxiety results from low self esteem/fear of judgement.

Would a bit*
