It made me a bit paranoid and got some insomnia. It increases dopamine. It didnt help my negative symptoms but some users on the forum say it helped them. Its an antidepressant.

It made me so anxious that I almost had a panic attack at work :confused:

Yeah i think she put me on XR

Oh thats not good

Never had any effect on me, My depression was pretty bad at the time

Meaning no side effects or it didnt work?

Did not work, did nothing for me

Oh okay. Well im not going on it for depression im going on it for negative symptoms

Definitely not ideal

It’s good,has stimulative effect,not good for depresion…
But it gives you energy.
Only thing is that you might need more after some time.

My brother takes Wellbutrin among other antidepressants and he says it causes anxiety.
It’s a very stimulating drug that increases dopamine.

My psychiatrist suggested it to me once but I turned it down because of this.
