@anon67051439 didnt you say you take Wellbutrin and others on this forum too?? For me Wellbutrin made me floridly psychotic….twice. I was re prescribed it I brought it up to my pdoc telling him a negative thing and he said hmmmmmm maybe Wellbutrin would be good for your condition. And I had my worst psychosis ever after that. Wellbutrin never again.

Yea some on the forum are on Wellbutrin, I think @anon17326926 @shutterbug and others. I was on it for 6 weeks it made my positive symptoms a bit worse but I wasn’t hospitalized.

Yes my Wellbutrin is prescribed by my pdoc against depression/negatives.

She also mentioned she has had success with it with other schizophrenics.

I was on wellbutrin for 2 weeks, I still smoked cigarettes and did nothing for my negatives. It made me so anxious to the point of nausea
