I started it several weeks ago and I’m ready to check myself into a psych ward. It’s bad.
I don’t want to stop it because it’s helping my appetite. I also can’t afford the amazing weight loss shots that people are taking. It would be almost $400 a month. I’m ■■■■■■.
I have never noticed it to make me mentally unstable, all it does for me is get rid of suicidal ideation and give me a small bump with motivation. Helpful for negative symptoms. It has never profoundly alterered my mood like Prozac and Effexor did. It’s generally regarded as one of the best ADs. Talk to your doctor about it for sure. Are there any other stressors in your life that could also be destabilizing you?
Also, if you’re really having trouble, a psych ward is a good call. Safe place to get med issues sorted if needed.
It’s been very effective for me too. When I was working at the doctor’s office I noticed that A LOT of people take Wellbutrin.
Ok. Thanks for your input. I’m not sure how to proceed. I really don’t feel right.
Wellbutrin made me suicidal within 2 weeks of taking it. Different people have different reactions to everything. Call your doctor and see what they say. As for the appetite thing, being fat is safer for your body than being suicidal/psychotic enough to harm yourself. There might be other meds that can help your appetite besides the GLP1 inhibitors. Your doc might be able to try some.
Its helped me alot. The only thing my pdoc worried about was agitation. But like they said above you should tell your doctors
Ok thanks. I’ll stop Wellbutrin. I took it this morning. I am getting death threats from the universe and I’m anxious and agitated. I can’t stand my own skin. I can’t talk to my psych outside of appointments though. Every time I call she says she’ll have to wait until my next appointment to help and says go to ER if it gets bad. She’s very monetarily focused. I do see her tomorrow.
That’s a fact, it’s always good to talk to a doctor anytime you think a med is screwing with you.
Wellbutrin started giving me positive symptoms when I tried it again in the last 2 years so I quit taking it after a month. Its weird how meds work. I took it for multiple years pre sz and it definitely helped more than the other ADs I tried.
wellbutrin made me paranoid
Been taking Wellbutrin for at least ten years. I’ve never been able to tell if it does anything. At least I know it doesn’t do anything bad.
Wellbutrin did make me feel better, but Im pretty sure that it contributed to me starting on a path towards psychosis and stopping meds which led me farther down that path along with other factors.
As to what it will or can do for/to you, I have no idea.
I just know that I am unlikely to ever try it again unless I get really desperate.
