I just got prescribed it. I’ve taken quite a few AD’s in the past with little help and bad side effects. My doc said this one is different though, and might work like my old ADHD stimulants.
He recommended I take it in the morning because it supposedly wakes people up, and he said it’ll be good for motivation.
He also said something I thought was inappropriate. He said that ‘you can even take a big handful of them trying to overdose and you won’t die’
Seemed weird to say to me, especially since I know it says something on my file about past attempts of suicide with medication.
Anyways, has anyone had any success with this medication? Or was it bad for you? Either way I would like to know other people’s experiences.
I’ve been on 100 mg x 2 buproprion for many years now. I don’t notice it unless I don’t get it. I get out of sorts when I don’t get to take it. I had my pdoc double the dose for me to 200 x 2, and I got pretty spooky on it. I was afraid I was going to start hallucinating. Now I’m back on 100 x 2, and I’m fine.
Great experience, if you are a smoker you will most likely quit. That’s how it works. It’s like a really balanced energy boost, it worked well for me.
But the thing is, after two and a half years of taking it it kinda wears off. That’s negative
I take 300 mg and I know someone who takes 450 mg. I saw a positive effect at first but not now. I suspect if I discontinued taking it I would notice a difference
I took it for a while and it worked alright. Not many side effects if i can remember. Its quite mild as medication goes. I also took it in the morning. It doesn’t wake you up like caffeine but it also doesn’t make you drowsy. It was my favorite anti deppressant before i got prescribed ketamine
Absolutely. Like two weeks after i started taking it cigarettes suddenly got a bad taste and i felt a little sick when i smoke. I pushed myself to do it anyway lol but wellbutrin won.
