I’m not finding peace. I can’t find an antipsychotic that is tolerable to me. The psychiatrist does not want to decrease the 3mg dose of vraylar. I will look for caffeine and taurine supplements.
I’m addicted to caffeine pills myself. I would caution against getting that kind of addiction because it isn’t harmless. I’ll probably succumb to some illness or syndrome when I get older if I don’t quit. Any kind of addiction is bad for you. They’re often fatal.

What exactly do you mean tolerable? Do you have severe side effects, or is it just that you don’t want to take them because they have negative side effects?
I don’t think getting amped on caffeine is going to be a good thing. Using caffeine moderate can be helpful, but taking too much and it affects mental health negative.

@Nirvana Have you given Wellbutrin 8 weeks or more for it to fully take effect and start working? Maybe you need a dose increase too and need to give that increase 8 weeks to see if it works for you? Antidepressants are not fast working pills sadly.
I just cut back on my caffeine intake. I don’t recommend taking a ton of caffeine pills. I do drink some caffeine still but I’ve cut back a lot. It’s a harsh substance I feel. I hope you feel some relief soon. Best wishes to you!!

The antipsychotics make me very depressed and I begin to have self-destructive thoughts. I can’t tolerate them. In addition to indefinite weight gain, and social phobic thoughts

I was taking it for approximately 22 days. I told the psychiatrist that I was eating more and that wellbutrin enhanced the effect of the antipsychotic and made me more depressed. It also made me think more about things from the past with more anger.
The psychiatrist told me to stop it immediately.

What positive effects do you notice when taking it?
I could take 200mg of caffeine right before bed and still fall asleep.
Never knew why.

same idk why. could be tolerance, some say ppl with adhd have different effects from stimulants. idk if that applies to you but i was being treated for it as a kid, even tho its odd now i still have symptoms in line with it but as i got older im no longer hyper like when i was a kid but now notice the inattentive side of it

Hi @Naek. I take Tadalafil (Cialis). Can you share your experience with bupropion in terms of sexuality? What is your medication combination? I would like to try oxytocin too. Thanks for sharing.

I didn’t relapse on bupropion. I only take 150 mg. Got rid of my suicidal thoughts so it helped. My voices did get a bit louder though, but it’s worth the price.

Like any other addictive drug, caffeine will stop working if it’s abused. Just drink a diet coke or something.

Wellbutrin makes me cray cray. I mean not like Charles Manson cray cray, more like pee wee hermin cray cray.
Seriously, it generally seems to put me in a happier, joking mood, most of the time. But I have noticed some irritability on ocassion that appears related to its use.
Overall, I like it.
