Wow, this guy is such a amazing and great personality. It’s crazy that people like him suffer from such terrible things in life like depression. Keep your head up, bro.
I'm at on the last pill and I still don't know if its just a placebo or it actually works. But it has helped me out with my smoking I think I needed to see this vid ❤
You have a wonderful personality Robert 😊, I'm so happy that you're feeling better. My Neurologist put me on Wellbutrin decades ago for extreme fatigue which amplified depression, bc I was depressed bc I wasn't accommodating what I wanted too. Decades later, I'm still on Wellbutrin, it still works for me, with fatigue and depression. Also a couple of years ago I added Magnesium Glycinate before bed, it calms anxiety, really helps me sleep waking up with no hangover feeling like with a sleep med, and my blood pressure came down to an awesome level so that I've cut my B.P. med in half. I'm not in the medical field or a nutritionist, but this is my experience. God bless you Robert and everyone suffering with something, 🙏❤️✝️
Wellbutrin is the best medication for me ❤ OMG (I have ADD, dysthymia, fatigue, depression, zero motivation and drive) I don’t feel depressed anymore it’s the weirdest feeling 😮 I have been depressed every day since the age of 10
isn’t it so unbelievably weird how you can spend your whole life wrapped up in this anxiety/depression stuff and then suddenly be on the outside of it. It totally defines your “normal” for so many years. I can’t believe I managed to live that way for so long. It’s bittersweet of course, i think of all the suffering i could’ve evaded had i got the proper help earlier, but at the same time i’m really proud of the strength and tenacity I had to endure that seemingly insurmountable burden✨ Do you think about it like that too? Of course i still have bad days, but what we went through was like the video game of life with the difficulty turned up to 11. 😮💨
I saw one video of a woman taking 300mg wellbutrin. She said it made her anger amplified and super horny. What’s ya’lls opinions and experience in this regard?
amplified anger. sure. obscenely horny. yes definitely. 😂 It doesn’t last forever (eventually your body will equilibrate) but its definitely a thing. Especially if you’re taking a higher dose.
Thank you so much for the information. I’m just starting on Wellbutrin. I’m into it for about two months. It’s it’s a real slow progress and it’s tapering off a little but still it’s way better than poor because I had that depression too, but not no more.
Great video brother! My bipolar depression caused the most crippling thing ever. Wellbutrin has been a God send. It’s literally the ONLY thing that has given me energy and drive. I even tried supplements like modafinil. Only Wellbutrin has worked. Very grateful.
Hi there! I have been also diagnosed with bipolar. I have bipolar II. i have triez paroxetine (Made me feel like a sociopath) amitriptilin (did absolitely nothing but made me more sensible) and prozac (great for depression and gaining weight but awful for motivation, made me fatigued and lazy) I am prescribed 300xl of Wellbutrin and si wanted to hear more about your experience as a fellow bipolar patient. Thanku!!
@@Atypicalkid88 it’s worked great. Btw I also started Prozac and researched it a lot. It’s the most activating and stimulating ssri, right up there with Wellbutrin. Maybe talk to your doctor about adjusting to a different dose and try to give it time to work. Combing Prozac and Wellbutrin should be good, as both have stimulating effects. At the same time I know everyone’s experience is different. Anyways, Wellbutrin is a God send. I pray it works for you!
i start wellbutrin xl 150mg in two days. I've been sleeping 13hrs a day and have foggy headedness for months. Hoping this perscription helps me have energy to socialize like you had mentioned. I love people i just don't have any energy to engadge! THANK YOU!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I just started Wellbutrin a few days ago and noticed the boost of energy. I feel energized to get things done. I’m hoping it helps with my anxiety and adhd. Best of luck to you on your journey! 🤘🏻
Thank you so much for your insights Robert ❤ I started taking today and I have a positive outlook on this journey. I can feel your warm fun personality through the screen, much love and hugs
Thank YOU so much, the feeling is mutual believe me!!❤️ The warmth of your personality absolutely beaming at me from the comment section!!😌❤️✨I appreciate the love and hugs! Wishing you the best on your mental health journey!
You are beyond kind!! Thank you very much. I wish you nothing but the absolute best! Sending you positive vibes and wishing you a happy healthy year! Thank you again🙏✨✨✨
Thank you!!✨I really hope everything is working out for you! It’s a bumpy crazy road but I have total faith that you’ll find your way!! Thank you again for your comment 😌
I really enjoyed this video. I usually play videos in 2x cause my adhd hehe but I didnt feel like doing that with yours, I was paying attention, feeling empathy and learning a lot! Also giggled a lot!!😂 You have an amazing personality and this sounds egocentric but it reminds me of the version of me that I am when i'm not depressed or fatigued all the time. I have been prescribed different antidepressants thst are ssri but I don't want to keep gainibg weight and my libido being at -100. I would also love to have that extra energy and motivatio to get out of my bed and room and enjoy life again. Tomorrow is my first day on 300 xl and I'm praying is a good ride. Thank you for all the helpful tips like taking it super early, take it on a full stomach etc. Sending u a big hug all the way fron Honduras❤
Thank you for good incredible comment!!✨✨✨ I appreciate you! I wish you the very best in your mental health journey! Hang in there! it takes a while to get attuned to the meds. The sleep loss will be difficult most likely but it will go back to normal! Thank you again! Eat well and stay active!✨✨✨
Thanks for doing this video. Have very similar symptoms as you. Nearly identical besides bad anxiety. Only manageable anxiety brought on from warranted situations. I’m on my 3rd day on this medicine and just a few hrs ago I noticed I started feeling that anxiety that makes me shake when I yawn and my body feels like it vibrates on a cellular level with hot blood flowing through it. It’s a 6 out of 10. The good thing is that I know I’m feeling like this because of the medicine and no other real problem I have to tackle. I hope this anxiety goes away though and gets replaced by a more positive happier life outlook. I was in a dark place a month ago, for no specific reason. Hey Robert, I don’t know ya but I’m really glad you’re feeling better, your video was very informative and funny and light but educational and it’s good to know I’m not the only person on earth that feels like it do with no one to turn to. Be well brother.
Thank you thank you for your comment!✨ how are you feeling? the shaking is really disconcerting but it does go away😌 its hard to say for myself cuz i’ve always been a lil bit shaky to begin with. Ha! doing the math it looks like your on your 3rd week. hang in there! i didn’t really start adjusting until week 4+. Eat well, take some walks if you can, feel free to add a lil melatonin in these beginning weeks just like 1-3mg before bed (totally optional). I wish you the best of health. thanks again for your feedback!👌✨
@@robertmakesashow7089 feeling a lot better thanks for asking! Anxiety totally gone now. Not really feeling all to happy but I’m definitely not feeling all that low like I was. I do take 1mg kids melatonin. For some reason I’m very sensitive to it and it knocks me right out. Overall I think it’s helping quite a bit.
I take Wellbutrin at night and buspar in day time and my God.....the energy I've felt has been amazing. My mind felt very clear yesterday, I was speechless.
@@jmoss2543 oh no no I tried it in the morning too and I was a complete wreck , I couldn't stay awake for the life of me . I switched to night time and it's so much better
Thanks so much for these videos! I just watched your previous ones and I’m on day 8 of Buspar for GAD and my doc and I have also discussed Wellbutrin for my mild-moderate depression issues too. I’m also in that boat of thinking my anxiety is making me depressed but I’m not too sure yet. I’m trying my best to be patient with the Buspar and giving it time to do its job! Your videos have really helped!
Thank you so much for your comments and feedback!✨ How is your buspar journey going? The buspar combo with wellbutrin has worked well for me. My recommendation (if you decide to go this route) is to introduce the Wellbutrin once you’ve got about a month or more experience with the Buspar. The wellbutrin comes in kinda hot and its nice to have the buspar in your system to smooth out the bumps. Wellbutrin gives you energy but it also makes you a lil anxious. At least it did for me! Sounds like you’re doing a great job hanging in there. I’ll never fully understand why but it seems like 4 weeks is a magic number with this stuff✨I wish you all the best. feel free to ask questions and keep me up to date on your progress!
@@robertmakesashow7089 thanks for your reply! I’m still doing well with buspar and it’s been a little over 2 weeks and I’ve noticed some improvement so she bumped up my dosage a tad and then we’ll reevaluate in a month to see how I’m doing if I’ll need to add the Wellbutrin! So I will say no complaints at all so far and honestly i don’t seem to have any side effects other than I sleep like a rock which I guess is more positive and not a side effects at all😂
Ooooh! That’s so cool when people are on the same combo as me✨✨✨🙌 and in the same order! 🤗 I’m still on this trio and it’s still working for me. Hang in there, the zoloft took the longest to get acclimated to! But there is green grass on the other side! Be sure to do light cardio a few times a week (very important) and sleep well. You got this 🙌✨
Happy to see everything's good with you bro. I know you lightly mentioned it but could you do another video on your Buspirone experience up to this point? I got on it almost a week ago myself and am noticing positive effects but am unsure whether I should increase my dose or wait it out.
Hey! i’m glad it’s been a positive experience. i’ll definitely make another buspirone video! I’m still taking just 10mg a day. i thought about upping my dose, but I stayed at 10mg. My psych tries to avoid upping it if she can. i’m not a medical professional so my opinion means absolutely nothinggg, but i noticed at around week 4 the med had it’s best effects, so maybe hang around this dose until then and then maybe you can decide to up the dose. i feel like you can always up the dose but coming back down is slightly more difficult. i wish you all the best!
You are truly a light-filled human! I vote for you to start a podcast as I could listen to you all day! And yes, I meant start the podcast for me and only me, duh! 😂 Have the best day!
I’m taking it & have been for two weeks.. it’s motivated me .. helps me focus & my mood is better. It gives me a very dry mouth though & I struggle to sleep.. but I’m pretty happy. I’ve taken amphetamine in the past, in powder form .. not crystal meth lol .. & it feels just like that! Just like a mild amphetamine. Can’t even imagine what it’d be like without the slow release! I’m guessing it’d be pretty intense.
So glad to hear that it’s working for you! yeah i heard when they first released wellbutrin they didn’t have the extended release option. The initial release was not as promising as they hoped, just too potent, people were probably just ripping their clothes off and jumping out of windows. this stuff can be intense. but then they released the extended release and then the drug really hit its stride. it’s one of the highest prescribed drugs, in the top 20 now i believe. In the top 3 antidepressants.
So like mild amphetamine? I have a prescription, tomorrow I'm going to buy! Soon I will be tested for ADHD so I will be taking Adderall or methylphenidate. But first I will try wellbutrin. I take amphetamines very often, so I'm not afraid of strong effects.
Thank you! I was just diagnosed with ADHD at 36 prescribed adderall 10 mg 1x per day 150 mg Wellbutrin 1 pill a day for a week taken in evening and the 2 pills per day taken morning. It’s day 4 for me. I feel some calming effects and has slowed my pace. but today I felt a bit uncomfortable like how marijuana makes me feel, except with no high. That was no fun. I normally am standing and walking around my house thinking of everything I have to do, while accomplishing nothing. I find myself sitting! Also I keep forgetting what I was doing or about to say. I’m going to stick with it and give it a chance to work.
You’re doing great! ✨✨✨ yes stick with it, I’m definitely no expert but I’ve found that if you get some immediate benefit in the beginning it will return, but you’re in the typical adaptation phase. Your body if learning to deal with the medication. You’ll feel a little wonky until you fully adjust. For me that 1.5 month mark is when things really started balancing out. Stick with it! you got this!💪✨I wish you the very best
I don’t believe I have ADHD and i dont take as much stimulant as you (your adderall plus 2 pills of wellbutrin) so I do want to preface that. I just take one pill of wellbutrin and that small amount worked for me.
It is absolutely terrifying to start stuff like this!! i sat on an anti anxiety prescription once for 6 months! Actually kinda hilarious, i needed anxiety medication to get over the anxiety to start my anxiety medication 😉I hope you’re doing fantastically ✨ thank you so much for your comment. feel free to keep me posted on your progress:)
300mg Wellbutrin made me way too anxious to leave my house. I couldn’t even walk past a window. and when I had to be outside all I could do was hide in bushes or try to bury myself in the ground….. was not for me lmao. Now I have only 150mg with a mood-stablizer added and can finally think straight. glad to see it worked for you ❤ :)
I’ve been on it 4 weeks. The 1st week was great with energy then after that, I started becoming tired again. Hoping that energy will come back! I’m taking 150 twice/day
Your body is definitely still in that adjustment period! 🙃 Given enough time it should equilibrate ✨👌. Thanks so much for commenting 🤗 feel free to let me know how things are shaping up! wishing you the best.
Thank you my Brotha!!🙌✨I soups appreciate your positive message! I hope you’re doing well on your medication regimen and thriving in your mental health journey! Thanks for taking the time to comment🙏✨
How does Wellbutrin feel compared to adderall/stimulants? I have ADD and anxiety/depression, and have been on stimulants for a decade. Now, the side effects of adderrall-horrible anxiety, overactive CNS, etc- have gotten really bad for me, and I am trying to stop adderall. Adderall has become way too intense for me even at a low dose, and is wreaking havoc on my body and causing dealt bad anxiety every day. My doc suggested Wellbutrin. I am concerned that it will feel just like adderall, with all the similar side effects I am trying to get away from. Can someone advise me on this? Does Wellbutrin feel at all similar to adderall in this regard? I don’t want another med that causes increased anxiety.
Wellbutrin is a stimulant for sure. It’s even used off label for ADHD! It does aggravate anxiety for sure, I take wellbutrin but if i wasn’t also on Buspar i think it’d be a lot harder for me. I took adderall once and thought i was having a heart attack. wellbutrin was gentler for me at least. It doesn’t work great for focus and ADHD in the long term i find, but it is a integral part of my medication routine.
Bupropion will be better for you, i think. It is out of the amfetamin family a cathinon derivat, but you can get tired after taking it and it has sedative effects. Taper of the Adderal and. Your doctor knows how to make this for you.
Great video! Iv been on Wellbutrin for close to a month, and I have terrible insomnia, and sometimes increased anxiety. I wanted to ask if anyone else had that at first? and if XL or SR is better?
I’m wishing you all the best!✨🙏 it’s a rough 4-8 week road but it does get better. By the end of that time you can properly assess if it’s working for you. Keep good communication with your health care professional. Thanks again!!✨💪
I've been on Wellbutrin for 3 weeks now, I almost cried the other day because I finally feel like myself years ago. Took effexor for more or less 2 years and wow was that a waste.
✨✨✨ So glad to hear it!!! Honestly, it’s like finally putting together a jigsaw puzzle that you didn’t know you’d been tirelessly working on your entire life! It’s quite satisfying😌✨✨✨
Thank you for your comment!!✨ It is really hard to say because they all work so different! I WOULD say that if you have the free time and no pressing engagements or responsibilities in the next month and a half, you can talk with your psychiatrist and see what they think. Ssris are pretty similar enough so you could first start with adding the buspar and then when that balances add the wellbutrin. IM NO EXPERT but perhaps chat with your people about it. buspar is the most user friendly i think. Good luck and thanks again for your comment✨✨✨
Hi Robert! Very useful information you have provided. I would like to ask if you have experienced any hair loss. I have seen quite a few reviews where people have been complaining about hair loss from their Wellbutrin. I started taking this medication 4 days ago and these hair loss reviews are a little concerning. Thanks man! Stay well
It was really hard to say cuz at the time I had really long hair and it did seem like it was thinning out. But honestly, I’m still on it and all the thinning that i believed I was having all seemed to grow back in. My hair feels just about the same as it’s always been and I’ve been on it for years now. Also know this, if you stop the drug, the hair thinning should reverse itself. So you can always change your mind! I’m not a medical expert but that is what I have read! Wishing you all the best!🙏✨✨✨
Please how do you deal with the horrible anxiety and resstlesness, I cannot sleep more than 3 hours a night if you suffer from those side effects . Im 3 weeks in my doc just added some xanax to help me chill .
the restlessness and insomnia was pretty bad for me but went away eventually. I was a little more anxious but was already taking buspar which is anti anxiety. i’m not a big fan of benzos like xanax. are you taking wellbutrin for depression? maybe the dose is a bit too high, also their maybe better options for you. It does make you feel wired for awhile. But it shouldn’t be unbearable, trading in depression for debilitating anxiety is no bueno. Xanax is powerful stuff so i’m sure it will work but be careful with it. I wish you the very best and keep me posted on your progress! Im sending you positive healing vibes!! you will get through this!🙌✨✨✨ You got this, take it one day at a time, it will get better!
At first it sorta lowered my libido, I was also felt so incredibly tired so that played a part. But the libido returned after a few months if not less. I’m only on a very minimum dose and I like to keep it that way. Orgasms took a bit longer but not a terrible thing. Libido is completely back. I also lift weights 2-3 times a week and eat incredibly clean and I think that has a lot to do with it as well. On top of that taking a small dose really limits the extent of the side effects.
It’s so weird it makes me soooooo tired. I’m taking for adhd and anxiety definitely has calmed me down, and I can focus a lot better and not have over stimulated breakdowns.
oooh i been there! yeah my sleep was awful for like a month and change but it really does get better! hang in there✨✨✨ are you getting any benefits from it?
Hi👋🏽 I have severe, clinical depression. I've been struggling with it for almost 20 years, since I was 14. I've taken almost every SSRI and SNRI anti-depressant and they would work for a very short time. Has Wellbutrin helped your depression and restored your willpower? I have no will and energy for anything. I am currently taking Paxil 30mg for five days. After how long did you notice the first positive changes? Did you take 150 or 300mg? Thank you
👋 Hi! Still on 150mg XL. With Wellbutrin I felt positive effects dang near immediately as per my experience in the video, but It does really mess with your sleep and kinda messes with your anxiety as well in the beginning. Didn’t really level out until the 3rd month. starting a new SSRI so it’s going to be very hard to tell how the wellbutrin is doing cuz that Paxil is going to mess you up for at least 3 months! After that it’ll likely be totally worth it though. I’m curious what you mean by SSRI working for a “very short time” In my experience The SSRI doesn’t even really start doing its job properly until about 3 months of consistent use without dose changes, that’s when it starts to work then slowly gets better and more stable by month 5 you’re now in the flow. Again, not a health professional but that was my experience. in that 5 month period there are times where it works well and times when it doesn’t seem to be doing anything, and times when you feel like it’s working against you, but I didn’t really know how it would consistently impact my life until month 5. My SSRI Zoloft was probably one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done. I’m currently into my 3rd year on it at the minimal dose and I can’t remember the last time i had a side effect, I think at this point it’s actually very subtle but I dig it😌 I’m on a mix of meds so it’s hard to say what is doing what but my will power got stronger with just lots of time of working on myself. thanks for your comment!!!
I’m about to try Wellbutrin for a second time (lower dose 75mg, 150mg was too intense for me). We shall see if it doesn’t make me feel like I had six cups of coffee. I may just be a person who doesn’t need the extra energy that some people need when they are depressed. If it does the same increases heart rate, I may need an ssri instead.
Wellbutrin is cocaine + rocket fuel! Its a lot i totally understand. Has it been helpful for the depression? I forget what i said in the video but i recall wellbutrin leveling out a few months in. The Ssris are great but they take a awhileeee to kick in. my zoloft made me a zombie for like 3 months and then finally worked. I hope the 75 works for you, i dont know if those are extended release but hopefully they will be kind to you! thanks so much for commenting! keep me posted on your progress!
@robertmakesashow7089 Aripiprazole is also said to be cocaine, but it is an antipsychotic and I had akathisia from that drug. Does Wellbutrin Cause Restlessness?
Hi, i am also diagnosed by psychiatric with personality disorder called avpd and I have depression. How about bupropion to increase dopamin because I've been feel anhedonia. Please give some notes
It’s definitely difficult to say, i definitely spend very little time socializing but am personally starting to realize that this is my personality. I basically want to be by myself and read 99% of the time. I have had a kind of avoidant personality disorder but i think my antianxiety and antidepressants did more for that than my bupropion but it is again hard to say. I’m definitely a more self confident in my abilities around people (still struggle with other insecurities) which is basically the crux of avpd. My buspar and zoloft to a lesser degree was helpful. I take very very low doses of these, started with the buspar and after half a year moved into zoloft. Zoloft was a tough adjustment but interestingly i’m not really afraid of people so much but I still do very little socially 😅 I think if there is stuff that you still enjoy, even if that means video games or watching shows or searching interesting stuff on reddit you just might be more introverted and less struggling with anhedonia. With that being said, i’m still very fortunate for my meds, workout routine and diet.
Hi thanks for the info, my psychiatrist recommended this and I said I’ll sleep on it. I see that it really helps but was wondering, did you experience hair loss?
Hi! thanks for the comment! I did experience a little hair loss which was very disconcerting at the time. i started noticing it at 4 months but it eventually stopped like after 6-7 months. some people don’t get this at all, my hair is on the fine side so it was easy to tell.
Dude I wish I was a friend of yours. That being said I know the darkness of not being able to leave your bed and people who don’t understand getting mad at you.
Very very good and important question. The answer is DEPENDS! Technically no. Wellbutrin especially in high levels can raise your seizure threshold which is awful. Now that is what you’re supposed to do and what me and everyone will advise you to do. for me personally speaking as a non-professional medical person, not drinking on this drug isn’t exactly realistic. for me in the beginning probably for 3 to 4 months I didn’t want to risk it. In fact, there are family members in my family who have epilepsy, and I wasn’t exactly really interested with dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. however around the five month mark I didn’t have any more side effects and I felt like my body had adjusted to the medication. I decided to have one to two drinks and anecdotally. Everything was fine. again, that’s my nonprofessional opinion to this day. I’m not really a big drinker. I usually have that two drinks max and have had no negative experiences. With that being said talk with your doctor. 😌✨✨✨ thanks for the comment and the excellent question!
@@robertmakesashow7089 Thanks for answering. I think the medication is great for my symptoms but the side effects are a pain to deal with the first few weeks. And I did have a drink recently but the next day my mood was off so I won't be doing that again.
Thanks for the comment!!✨🙏 I take it with a meal early in the morning, for me, it’s super early cause I get up for work at 5:45 AM so I usually take it around 6am…i realize that very early 🙃
My experience is that I get intoxicated with much less alcohol. I am 62 and been drinking my whole adult life, I am no lightweight. If you are going to drink I recommend trying it at home before going to a bar or restaurant. For me drinking is not as fun as it used to be, so I drink much less so I guess it’s a good thing. Hope this helps, good luck be careful.
Thanks for this awesome video. I was on Effexor did not help me and today asking my doctor and going on this med. are you still on it and feeling good? If yes same dose? What did you do for the sleep part?
I’m still on it! Same dose 150 xl . It’s working for me! My sleep issues are loooong gone thankfully but I’m also currently taking just a lil melatonin before bed 2mg 30 mins before bed. I’m pretty sensitive to meds I guess but I don’t really believe in upping the dose, It’s a crutch but not a wheelchair I just want to use it as support. This is of course my personal opinion which few people share. I also exercise, sleep as best I can, and eating super clean (gluten free and dairy free which few people can do but honestly it’s my secret weapon) The sleep issue was really annoying at first but it really does go away and doesn’t affect my sleep at all. Sorry for this super long rant, thank you so much for your comment!! It really made my day! I hope you’re doing well, lemme know if you’re on the wellbutrin and if it’s working for you!✨✨✨ thanks again🙏
wellbutrin made me legitimately hyper sexual in the beginning. i was not exactly manic but i certainly got a libido boost. it eventually normalized in about a month. i’m only on the 150xl i can’t imagine how i’d get on 300 or more mg. i was taking it for anhedonia and it helped a bit and my energy was pretty great!
@@robertmakesashow7089 Thanks for the reply! Lexapro caused anhedonia and destroyed my libido years ago even after quitting. I finally decided to give Wellbutrin a go recently since I heard good things about it. It's been about 2 weeks since I started it at 300mg, and I haven't felt any good or bad side effects. Hopefully it kicks in eventually.
Thank you for the comment!!✨🙏 You have to be very very careful if you have any existing mental health issues and consult with a psychiatrist before trying any of these medications! I hope you find the help that you need!✨
lots of videos and posts from people who have been on this drug for a relatively short amount of time feeling great and everything. cool. i felt great taking it, too. at least i did in the beginning. i took it for 10 months and had to stop because the suicidal and hostile thoughts almost LITERALLY killed me. it was a close call. turns out it's a known side effect. i'd really like to hear from people who have been on this for more than a year straight.
I'm sorry that was your experience!! Obviously your story is valid. Thankfully, I'm feeling right as rain. I plan on doing a update video, I've just been busy moving states and careers.
I was on this drug for 10 years total (300mg for 8 years and 450mg for the last 2 years). I've recently been off of it now for 8 months and am considering going back on due to the lack of focus, energy, sadness and weight gain. But long term the issues I had were an increase in my anxiety and irritability (however I think my job was the biggest culprit of this and not necessarily the medicine).
It's funny, I started both of them at once and yea my anxiety was a little sparked up here and there, but being more awake really helps me be less anxious due to past trauma. I'm 2 weeks in, feeling much more positive!!!! Also I am more productive than usual. It's really nice!! I'm glad these meds are also working for you!!! I love seeing the positive experiences people have been having.
As someone who suffers with dysthymia with absolute lack of motivation and oodles of lethargy and chronic fatigue but also has bouts of anxiety, I'm fucking lost.
I’m so sorry to hear, anxiety and lethargy are an awful pair 😩 i’m not a mental health professional but I’d be willing to bet there is a physiological health component to your issues. If you aren’t already cutting out weed, alcohol, and cleaning up your diet I would highly highly recommend. also 3-5 sessions of cardio a week is the more effective than any pharmaceutical on the market hands down. I have a semi boring video about the only self help advice you’ll ever need, i talk about this in the video. I hope you hang in there, i’m sending you my positive energy, you can overcome this💪✨ thank you again!
I think Wellbutrin is probably the best suited for anhedonia in my very non clinical opinion. If you have really bad sucidality or mania/hypo mania I’d definitely be careful and consult your doctor. I think anhedonia can sometimes be an effect of the underlying anxiety or depression. Getting my anxiety down certainly helped by anhedonia. Though I am coming to terms with my desire to do very little as my personality and not so much my depression or anhedonia.
@@robertmakesashow7089 Are you still taking bupropion? Unfortunately it seems that in Indonesia it is rarely used, because it is not popular. In addition, it may not be borne by the state. I thought anhedonia, difficulty speaking, slow speech like confused people hindered me, I thought was it due to a lack of dopamine?
I took my first dose of Wellbutrin at 6 am, and this video makes me want to cry. Like good cry. To think I could be happy and have energy again after 14 years and hearing someone tell me it works is indescribable. Thank you for the hope 🤍
this makes me so happy 😌✨✨✨✨ I sending you so much good energy, you will absolutely find your center again, stick with it!!! These drugs can take lots of time, too much time usually, but stay the course! You got this, I know it💪✨ thank you for your amazing comment!
@user-hn9qj7nm1c Yes! Oh my goodness. I can't even begin to tell you the impact this has made on my life. It's night and day. I actually have energy and look forward to waking up in the mornings. Not being miserable the second I wake up and exhausted the rest of the day. I genuinely feel like I'm living and thriving instead of suffering until I can get back in bed. It's really, truly, from the bottom of my heart, saved my life. I can't say enough good things.
Omg 🥹🥹 I am so happy for you! Truly, genuinely happy you are doing so well! I just started Wellbutrin 2 days ago and can already feel some changes! To think I was so scared 🙄😂
@user-hn9qj7nm1c I'm so excited for you. It's really the best thing that's ever happened to me. It's a decently strong medication so you might get some side effects but PLEASE keep going. There's so much light on the other side. The bad stuff goes away, if you get any, in a few weeks. 1000% worth it. Keep us updated!
I was not severely nauseous on wellbutrin, i’m not sure if it’s a common effect but all oral medication run the risk of GI effects including nausea. Try taking it with food and consistently. Make sure you’re not having any allergic reactions like itchyness, rash, any inflammation. Consult your doc, cuz i’m just some dude on the internet :)
Wellbutrin destroyed my ex. Made her a psychotic suicidal mess. Idk why yt is throwing this video in my feed, but be very careful with ssris. She felt great at first then 3 months in she was screaming at her family and friends, breaking down mentally in stores, and acting recklessly and with no impulse control. My mental health turned to a wreck trying to hold her together and getting her off this terrible drug.
Like the commenter said above. Wellbutrin is not an SSRI. But you’re right, people have to be incredibly careful with these meds. I’m sorry it was so detrimental to her health😞 these drugs are not for everyone and people should be very cautious and take this very seriously. I wonder if after the 3 months they changed her dosing. Regardless it seems like it was not the drug for her. I’m sorry you got caught up in the chaos of it all, you sound like a wonderful partner doing your best to help her, even at your own expense. I hope you and your mental health are in a good place right now, I wish you all the best✨ thank you for sharing your story.
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448 not sure. We broke up after she quit the drug cold turkey, started hallucinating and her whole personality became cold and cut off. She blamed me for all her issues and became more reckless and untrustworthy. Terrible having someone you loved change in an instant into something unrecognizable. She had many exes before me. Two kids from two different men. I was her longest relationship just over 1 years, I can see why now. Her mom is bipolar and I really think she is too.
@@robertmakesashow7089 thank you. It’s been a tough few months after our break up. Right after my grandfather died she blamed me for all her issues. Hurtful thing to hear and hold on to. I’ve also been dealing with Lyme disease, just diagnosed, and the stress of all this has worn me down. Starting to feel better with treatment. I really think she is bipolar. I don’t know how else to explain her behavior. I miss her two boys very much and hope she eventually finds real help.
So was it adhd? All long, ? that turned into depression ? So u tghought u have depression? And now that adhd is getting treated u feel like ur depression is going away as well?
I never really got diagnosed with adhd. I don’t think I have it truly, maybe a very very mild version. But i think that theory of fixing my focus to fix my anxiety was kinda debunked. I imagine that that is the case for some. Thanks for your comment🙏✨
Makes total sense! it’s definitely been known to cause seizures. I hope you were able to find a solution that worked for you. Wishing you all the best on your mental health journey 😌✨🙌
Interesting!!🤔 luckily I haven’t gotten a side effect from wellbutrin for years. sometimes the sugar from the grapes makes me a lil gassy/bloated though, But that might just be a me thing! Thank you for your comment 🙏✨
funny and painful!! if that’s not life in a nutshell, I don’t know what is!! I hope you’re doing OK!🙌✨ thank you so much for commenting hang in there I wish you the best of health!!✨
I forget which but I mentioned it in one of my videos. Overall it was a net positive!! Now I don’t really feel the effects of it anymore but I’m still on it.
Wooo✨✨✨ congratulations. Its a bit of wild ride in the beginning but give your body time to adjust. You’ll probably know if you like it or not for certain at the 6 week mark! Thanks for your comment!
Oh noooooo!!😫😫😫 i’m sorry this stuff really can mess up your sleep especially if you weren’t a good sleeper to begin with. It took me 2 months or so before I could sleep normally. Taking this stuff now for 3 years, I feel like I can take this stuff before bed and sleep like a brick. I hope you’re starting to get your sleep back! 😴 Thanks for your comment!
"It's basically an amphetamine". IT'S OBJECTIVELY NOT. There's none of that in it. Your videos great, and it's good to see you're doing well but it needs to be spoken in terms of a serious drug group like amphetamines
You have the same smile as jake gyllenhaal! If thats not weird to say lol. Your videos are always a joy to watch
I’ll take it!! I met that guy in person when I was working in fancy restaurants in LA. He’s awesome!😎 ✨✨✨
You seem SO lovable!!! Your personality is so unique!! I send you love and hugs!!! ❤
Wow, this guy is such a amazing and great personality. It’s crazy that people like him suffer from such terrible things in life like depression. Keep your head up, bro.
My guy, you’re brightening up my whole damn day!✨✨✨ hahaha! Thank you for your comment and feedback, I really really appreciate the encouragement 😌✨
"Great! I'm an energized depressed person now!" 😂😂
Hahaha!!! Everyone needs at least one energized depressed person in their entourage. this was my life. 🙃
😂😂😂
That's exactly how I feel. 2 weeks in!!
I'm at on the last pill and I still don't know if its just a placebo or it actually works. But it has helped me out with my smoking I think I needed to see this vid ❤
😂😂😂😂
You have a wonderful personality Robert 😊, I'm so happy that you're feeling better.
My Neurologist put me on Wellbutrin decades ago for extreme fatigue which amplified depression, bc I was depressed bc I wasn't accommodating what I wanted too.
Decades later, I'm still on Wellbutrin, it still works for me, with fatigue and depression.
Also a couple of years ago I added Magnesium Glycinate before bed, it calms anxiety, really helps me sleep waking up with no hangover feeling like with a sleep med, and my blood pressure came down to an awesome level so that I've cut my B.P. med in half.
I'm not in the medical field or a nutritionist, but this is my experience.
God bless you Robert and everyone suffering with something, 🙏❤️✝️
I'm also at 6 weeks. We are having a similar experience. Wellbutrin is much better than any SSRI that I tried many years ago. Cheers!
i’m so glad to hear it!!!
What does it feel like? Does it raise your pulse and blood pressure like stimulants do, or cause increased anxiety?
I'm only on for 6 says now. I was on sertraline and that drove me crazy
Wellbutrin is the best medication for me ❤ OMG (I have ADD, dysthymia, fatigue, depression, zero motivation and drive) I don’t feel depressed anymore it’s the weirdest feeling 😮 I have been depressed every day since the age of 10
isn’t it so unbelievably weird how you can spend your whole life wrapped up in this anxiety/depression stuff and then suddenly be on the outside of it. It totally defines your “normal” for so many years. I can’t believe I managed to live that way for so long. It’s bittersweet of course, i think of all the suffering i could’ve evaded had i got the proper help earlier, but at the same time i’m really proud of the strength and tenacity I had to endure that seemingly insurmountable burden✨ Do you think about it like that too? Of course i still have bad days, but what we went through was like the video game of life with the difficulty turned up to 11. 😮💨
I saw one video of a woman taking 300mg wellbutrin. She said it made her anger amplified and super horny. What’s ya’lls opinions and experience in this regard?
amplified anger. sure. obscenely horny. yes definitely. 😂 It doesn’t last forever (eventually your body will equilibrate) but its definitely a thing. Especially if you’re taking a higher dose.
@@robertmakesashow7089 does anger go away?
@@arnrocarnrocyes. It’s not good.
Thank you so much for the information. I’m just starting on Wellbutrin. I’m into it for about two months. It’s it’s a real slow progress and it’s tapering off a little but still it’s way better than poor because I had that depression too, but not no more.
I'm glad your feeling better my friend! Keep smiling because you're amazing!
You’re Amazing!! I sincerely appreciate people like you sending positivity into the world!✨ Thanks for your comment!!😌
Bro, im 1 week in the treatment, im energized and feeling a lot better just by watching your video. Thanks for this video means a lot
Broooo✨ this comment just made my whole day. Thank you for your positivity and feed back 🙏✨ much much appreciated!
Great video brother! My bipolar depression caused the most crippling thing ever. Wellbutrin has been a God send. It’s literally the ONLY thing that has given me energy and drive. I even tried supplements like modafinil. Only Wellbutrin has worked. Very grateful.
Hi there! I have been also diagnosed with bipolar. I have bipolar II. i have triez paroxetine (Made me feel like a sociopath) amitriptilin (did absolitely nothing but made me more sensible) and prozac (great for depression and gaining weight but awful for motivation, made me fatigued and lazy) I am prescribed 300xl of Wellbutrin and si wanted to hear more about your experience as a fellow bipolar patient. Thanku!!
@@Atypicalkid88 it’s worked great. Btw I also started Prozac and researched it a lot. It’s the most activating and stimulating ssri, right up there with Wellbutrin. Maybe talk to your doctor about adjusting to a different dose and try to give it time to work. Combing Prozac and Wellbutrin should be good, as both have stimulating effects. At the same time I know everyone’s experience is different. Anyways, Wellbutrin is a God send. I pray it works for you!
@@Atypicalkid88Update?
i start wellbutrin xl 150mg in two days. I've been sleeping 13hrs a day and have foggy headedness for months. Hoping this perscription helps me have energy to socialize like you had mentioned. I love people i just don't have any energy to engadge! THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video. I hope you realize how helpful you are. 🤗
Thank you again!! I it really nice to know some people are getting something out of these videos!!!😌✨
Thanks for sharing your experience! I just started Wellbutrin a few days ago and noticed the boost of energy. I feel energized to get things done. I’m hoping it helps with my anxiety and adhd. Best of luck to you on your journey! 🤘🏻
Thank you so much for your insights Robert ❤ I started taking today and I have a positive outlook on this journey. I can feel your warm fun personality through the screen, much love and hugs
Thank YOU so much, the feeling is mutual believe me!!❤️ The warmth of your personality absolutely beaming at me from the comment section!!😌❤️✨I appreciate the love and hugs! Wishing you the best on your mental health journey!
Update?
Such a nice person. You deserve to be happy. Good luck!
You are beyond kind!! Thank you very much. I wish you nothing but the absolute best! Sending you positive vibes and wishing you a happy healthy year! Thank you again🙏✨✨✨
I like your energy. Thanks for this video! Just started wellbutrin; hoping for the best. Have a great day!
Thank you!!✨I really hope everything is working out for you! It’s a bumpy crazy road but I have total faith that you’ll find your way!! Thank you again for your comment 😌
I really enjoyed this video. I usually play videos in 2x cause my adhd hehe but I didnt feel like doing that with yours, I was paying attention, feeling empathy and learning a lot! Also giggled a lot!!😂 You have an amazing personality and this sounds egocentric but it reminds me of the version of me that I am when i'm not depressed or fatigued all the time. I have been prescribed different antidepressants thst are ssri but I don't want to keep gainibg weight and my libido being at -100. I would also love to have that extra energy and motivatio to get out of my bed and room and enjoy life again. Tomorrow is my first day on 300 xl and I'm praying is a good ride. Thank you for all the helpful tips like taking it super early, take it on a full stomach etc. Sending u a big hug all the way fron Honduras❤
Thank you for good incredible comment!!✨✨✨ I appreciate you! I wish you the very best in your mental health journey! Hang in there! it takes a while to get attuned to the meds. The sleep loss will be difficult most likely but it will go back to normal! Thank you again! Eat well and stay active!✨✨✨
Thanks for doing this video. Have very similar symptoms as you. Nearly identical besides bad anxiety. Only manageable anxiety brought on from warranted situations. I’m on my 3rd day on this medicine and just a few hrs ago I noticed I started feeling that anxiety that makes me shake when I yawn and my body feels like it vibrates on a cellular level with hot blood flowing through it. It’s a 6 out of 10. The good thing is that I know I’m feeling like this because of the medicine and no other real problem I have to tackle. I hope this anxiety goes away though and gets replaced by a more positive happier life outlook. I was in a dark place a month ago, for no specific reason. Hey Robert, I don’t know ya but I’m really glad you’re feeling better, your video was very informative and funny and light but educational and it’s good to know I’m not the only person on earth that feels like it do with no one to turn to. Be well brother.
Thank you thank you for your comment!✨ how are you feeling? the shaking is really disconcerting but it does go away😌 its hard to say for myself cuz i’ve always been a lil bit shaky to begin with. Ha! doing the math it looks like your on your 3rd week. hang in there! i didn’t really start adjusting until week 4+. Eat well, take some walks if you can, feel free to add a lil melatonin in these beginning weeks just like 1-3mg before bed (totally optional). I wish you the best of health. thanks again for your feedback!👌✨
@@robertmakesashow7089 feeling a lot better thanks for asking! Anxiety totally gone now. Not really feeling all to happy but I’m definitely not feeling all that low like I was. I do take 1mg kids melatonin. For some reason I’m very sensitive to it and it knocks me right out. Overall I think it’s helping quite a bit.
incredibly happy to hear this 😌✨✨✨
Thanks for sharing your experience I’ve just started this medication.
Thank you! ✨✨✨hope you found this helpful. Wishing you the best of health! :)
Hi how are you doing with the Buspar
I take Wellbutrin at night and buspar in day time and my God.....the energy I've felt has been amazing. My mind felt very clear yesterday, I was speechless.
😌😌😌 This makes me so happy to hear!!! I’m glad its working for you! I appreciate your positive feedback, it made my day✨
Do you take the XL at night? I tried it in the morning but felt like I had narcolepsy during day. So switched to SR and made anxiety worse.
@@jmoss2543 oh no no I tried it in the morning too and I was a complete wreck , I couldn't stay awake for the life of me . I switched to night time and it's so much better
Thanks so much for these videos! I just watched your previous ones and I’m on day 8 of Buspar for GAD and my doc and I have also discussed Wellbutrin for my mild-moderate depression issues too. I’m also in that boat of thinking my anxiety is making me depressed but I’m not too sure yet. I’m trying my best to be patient with the Buspar and giving it time to do its job! Your videos have really helped!
Thank you so much for your comments and feedback!✨ How is your buspar journey going? The buspar combo with wellbutrin has worked well for me. My recommendation (if you decide to go this route) is to introduce the Wellbutrin once you’ve got about a month or more experience with the Buspar. The wellbutrin comes in kinda hot and its nice to have the buspar in your system to smooth out the bumps. Wellbutrin gives you energy but it also makes you a lil anxious. At least it did for me! Sounds like you’re doing a great job hanging in there. I’ll never fully understand why but it seems like 4 weeks is a magic number with this stuff✨I wish you all the best. feel free to ask questions and keep me up to date on your progress!
@@robertmakesashow7089 thanks for your reply! I’m still doing well with buspar and it’s been a little over 2 weeks and I’ve noticed some improvement so she bumped up my dosage a tad and then we’ll reevaluate in a month to see how I’m doing if I’ll need to add the Wellbutrin! So I will say no complaints at all so far and honestly i don’t seem to have any side effects other than I sleep like a rock which I guess is more positive and not a side effects at all😂
Wellbutrin works for anxiety?
Just started the 3 meds you are on . Started on buspar first then welly now Zoloft !!!
Ooooh! That’s so cool when people are on the same combo as me✨✨✨🙌 and in the same order! 🤗 I’m still on this trio and it’s still working for me. Hang in there, the zoloft took the longest to get acclimated to! But there is green grass on the other side! Be sure to do light cardio a few times a week (very important) and sleep well. You got this 🙌✨
thank you for being so transparent.
Thank YOU for your incredible comment!!! I’m very glad that some are finding these rambles helpful 😅✨✨✨
Thank you for your insight
Thank you for your comment!!😌✨✨✨ Sending you positive mental health vibez⚡️
Thanks for sharing
Happy to see everything's good with you bro. I know you lightly mentioned it but could you do another video on your Buspirone experience up to this point? I got on it almost a week ago myself and am noticing positive effects but am unsure whether I should increase my dose or wait it out.
Hey! i’m glad it’s been a positive experience. i’ll definitely make another buspirone video! I’m still taking just 10mg a day. i thought about upping my dose, but I stayed at 10mg. My psych tries to avoid upping it if she can. i’m not a medical professional so my opinion means absolutely nothinggg, but i noticed at around week 4 the med had it’s best effects, so maybe hang around this dose until then and then maybe you can decide to up the dose. i feel like you can always up the dose but coming back down is slightly more difficult. i wish you all the best!
@PussayMonger Did u ever take a benzodiazepine? I’ve heard if you tried a benzo in the past the Buspirone will not work for you.
You are truly a light-filled human! I vote for you to start a podcast as I could listen to you all day! And yes, I meant start the podcast for me and only me, duh! 😂 Have the best day!
💜💜💜✨U 2 sweet!! Thank you! I appreciate the feedback! 😌I hope to start making some travel content soon hopefully!!!!🤞
I’m taking it & have been for two weeks.. it’s motivated me .. helps me focus & my mood is better. It gives me a very dry mouth though & I struggle to sleep.. but I’m pretty happy. I’ve taken amphetamine in the past, in powder form .. not crystal meth lol .. & it feels just like that! Just like a mild amphetamine. Can’t even imagine what it’d be like without the slow release! I’m guessing it’d be pretty intense.
So glad to hear that it’s working for you! yeah i heard when they first released wellbutrin they didn’t have the extended release option. The initial release was not as promising as they hoped, just too potent, people were probably just ripping their clothes off and jumping out of windows. this stuff can be intense. but then they released the extended release and then the drug really hit its stride. it’s one of the highest prescribed drugs, in the top 20 now i believe. In the top 3 antidepressants.
also the sleep will get better! it just takes time
So like mild amphetamine? I have a prescription, tomorrow I'm going to buy! Soon I will be tested for ADHD so I will be taking Adderall or methylphenidate. But first I will try wellbutrin.
I take amphetamines very often, so I'm not afraid of strong effects.
Hope you’re doing well!!✨✨✨
Hi I was wondering if your sleep improved
Thank you!
I was just diagnosed with ADHD at 36 prescribed adderall 10 mg 1x per day
150 mg Wellbutrin 1 pill a day for a week taken in evening and the 2 pills per day taken morning. It’s day 4 for me. I feel some calming effects and has slowed my pace. but today I felt a bit uncomfortable like how marijuana makes me feel, except with no high. That was no fun. I normally am standing and walking around my house thinking of everything I have to do, while accomplishing nothing. I find myself sitting! Also I keep forgetting what I was doing or about to say. I’m going to stick with it and give it a chance to work.
You’re doing great! ✨✨✨ yes stick with it, I’m definitely no expert but I’ve found that if you get some immediate benefit in the beginning it will return, but you’re in the typical adaptation phase. Your body if learning to deal with the medication. You’ll feel a little wonky until you fully adjust. For me that 1.5 month mark is when things really started balancing out. Stick with it! you got this!💪✨I wish you the very best
I don’t believe I have ADHD and i dont take as much stimulant as you (your adderall plus 2 pills of wellbutrin) so I do want to preface that. I just take one pill of wellbutrin and that small amount worked for me.
Iam scared to start this Med but after listening to you…….Iam ready
I tried it for 16 days….I loved the energy and focus,and the lift up…….but I hated all the side effects……so I stopped……
It is absolutely terrifying to start stuff like this!! i sat on an anti anxiety prescription once for 6 months! Actually kinda hilarious, i needed anxiety medication to get over the anxiety to start my anxiety medication 😉I hope you’re doing fantastically ✨ thank you so much for your comment. feel free to keep me posted on your progress:)
@@janehaskell9078 please Im experiencing horrible anxiety and restlessness my doc said it will go away
@@ingram4896 so sorry I tried to take it I could not…….and I’m doing ok……..
@@ingram4896 yeah I was getting bad anxiety and rage so stopped. Only got to week 5.
300mg Wellbutrin made me way too anxious to leave my house. I couldn’t even walk past a window. and when I had to be outside all I could do was hide in bushes or try to bury myself in the ground….. was not for me lmao. Now I have only 150mg with a mood-stablizer added and can finally think straight. glad to see it worked for you ❤ :)
I’ve been on it 4 weeks. The 1st week was great with energy then after that, I started becoming tired again. Hoping that energy will come back! I’m taking 150 twice/day
Your body is definitely still in that adjustment period! 🙃 Given enough time it should equilibrate ✨👌. Thanks so much for commenting 🤗 feel free to let me know how things are shaping up! wishing you the best.
Maybe the extended release will be more suitable for you? 💜
Update?
This is great. Keep your head up brotha! You got this! I'm in the same boat as you so we got this!
Thank you my Brotha!!🙌✨I soups appreciate your positive message! I hope you’re doing well on your medication regimen and thriving in your mental health journey! Thanks for taking the time to comment🙏✨
Me crying because I just started taking this medication again & it was honestly the happiest time of my life. I’m excited to get started again
How does Wellbutrin feel compared to adderall/stimulants?
I have ADD and anxiety/depression, and have been on stimulants for a decade.
Now, the side effects of adderrall-horrible anxiety, overactive CNS, etc- have gotten really bad for me, and I am trying to stop adderall.
Adderall has become way too intense for me even at a low dose, and is wreaking havoc on my body and causing dealt bad anxiety every day.
My doc suggested Wellbutrin. I am concerned that it will feel just like adderall, with all the similar side effects I am trying to get away from.
Can someone advise me on this? Does Wellbutrin feel at all similar to adderall in this regard?
I don’t want another med that causes increased anxiety.
Wellbutrin is a stimulant for sure. It’s even used off label for ADHD! It does aggravate anxiety for sure, I take wellbutrin but if i wasn’t also on Buspar i think it’d be a lot harder for me.
I took adderall once and thought i was having a heart attack. wellbutrin was gentler for me at least. It doesn’t work great for focus and ADHD in the long term i find, but it is a integral part of my medication routine.
Bupropion will be better for you, i think. It is out of the amfetamin family a cathinon derivat, but you can get tired after taking it and it has sedative effects. Taper of the Adderal and. Your doctor knows how to make this for you.
Great video! Iv been on Wellbutrin for close to a month, and I have terrible insomnia, and sometimes increased anxiety. I wanted to ask if anyone else had that at first? and if XL or SR is better?
Im about to start taking it, hopefully it hleps my motivation and general upbeat emotions
I’m wishing you all the best!✨🙏 it’s a rough 4-8 week road but it does get better. By the end of that time you can properly assess if it’s working for you. Keep good communication with your health care professional. Thanks again!!✨💪
I've been on Wellbutrin for 3 weeks now, I almost cried the other day because I finally feel like myself years ago. Took effexor for more or less 2 years and wow was that a waste.
✨✨✨ So glad to hear it!!! Honestly, it’s like finally putting together a jigsaw puzzle that you didn’t know you’d been tirelessly working on your entire life! It’s quite satisfying😌✨✨✨
Love your video good job, do you think its worth switching off of prozac to try this?
Thank you for your comment!!✨ It is really hard to say because they all work so different! I WOULD say that if you have the free time and no pressing engagements or responsibilities in the next month and a half, you can talk with your psychiatrist and see what they think. Ssris are pretty similar enough so you could first start with adding the buspar and then when that balances add the wellbutrin. IM NO EXPERT but perhaps chat with your people about it. buspar is the most user friendly i think. Good luck and thanks again for your comment✨✨✨
Hi Robert! Very useful information you have provided. I would like to ask if you have experienced any hair loss. I have seen quite a few reviews where people have been complaining about hair loss from their Wellbutrin. I started taking this medication 4 days ago and these hair loss reviews are a little concerning. Thanks man! Stay well
It was really hard to say cuz at the time I had really long hair and it did seem like it was thinning out. But honestly, I’m still on it and all the thinning that i believed I was having all seemed to grow back in. My hair feels just about the same as it’s always been and I’ve been on it for years now. Also know this, if you stop the drug, the hair thinning should reverse itself. So you can always change your mind! I’m not a medical expert but that is what I have read! Wishing you all the best!🙏✨✨✨
you give off great vibes❤
Thank you for sending me your great vibes ❤️✨I appreciate the feedback
Please how do you deal with the horrible anxiety and resstlesness, I cannot sleep more than 3 hours a night if you suffer from those side effects . Im 3 weeks in my doc just added some xanax to help me chill .
the restlessness and insomnia was pretty bad for me but went away eventually. I was a little more anxious but was already taking buspar which is anti anxiety. i’m not a big fan of benzos like xanax. are you taking wellbutrin for depression? maybe the dose is a bit too high, also their maybe better options for you. It does make you feel wired for awhile. But it shouldn’t be unbearable, trading in depression for debilitating anxiety is no bueno. Xanax is powerful stuff so i’m sure it will work but be careful with it. I wish you the very best and keep me posted on your progress! Im sending you positive healing vibes!! you will get through this!🙌✨✨✨ You got this, take it one day at a time, it will get better!
Thanks Robert. Best of the best to you!
💖 RIGHT BACK AT YOU ✨😌✨ thank you for your comment. sending you positive vibes⚡️
can you talk about how it affects sex life? Desire? Intensity of orgasms?
Coming of SSRIs and feel weak sexual intensity for quite some time...
At first it sorta lowered my libido, I was also felt so incredibly tired so that played a part. But the libido returned after a few months if not less. I’m only on a very minimum dose and I like to keep it that way. Orgasms took a bit longer but not a terrible thing. Libido is completely back. I also lift weights 2-3 times a week and eat incredibly clean and I think that has a lot to do with it as well. On top of that taking a small dose really limits the extent of the side effects.
This is very interesting.....I'm pretty avoidant of conversations because I feel drained afterwards
I tooottally understand…not to mention feeling drained…during 😅 thank you for your comments!!! I appreciate it!!🙏✨
It’s so weird it makes me soooooo tired. I’m taking for adhd and anxiety definitely has calmed me down, and I can focus a lot better and not have over stimulated breakdowns.
I started last week on 150 mg , my concentration is must better. I hope everybody will get better.
I’m so glad to hear it 😌✨ I love feedback that it’s starting to work. There will be bumps but stay the course and you got this!
How did it affect your sleep? I’m on week 2 and can’t seem to sleep. My brain keeps going and i feel so much pressure in my head
oooh i been there! yeah my sleep was awful for like a month and change but it really does get better! hang in there✨✨✨ are you getting any benefits from it?
Hi👋🏽 I have severe, clinical depression. I've been struggling with it for almost 20 years, since I was 14. I've taken almost every SSRI and SNRI anti-depressant and they would work for a very short time. Has Wellbutrin helped your depression and restored your willpower? I have no will and energy for anything. I am currently taking Paxil 30mg for five days. After how long did you notice the first positive changes? Did you take 150 or 300mg? Thank you
👋 Hi! Still on 150mg XL. With Wellbutrin I felt positive effects dang near immediately as per my experience in the video, but It does really mess with your sleep and kinda messes with your anxiety as well in the beginning. Didn’t really level out until the 3rd month. starting a new SSRI so it’s going to be very hard to tell how the wellbutrin is doing cuz that Paxil is going to mess you up for at least 3 months! After that it’ll likely be totally worth it though. I’m curious what you mean by SSRI working for a “very short time” In my experience The SSRI doesn’t even really start doing its job properly until about 3 months of consistent use without dose changes, that’s when it starts to work then slowly gets better and more stable by month 5 you’re now in the flow. Again, not a health professional but that was my experience. in that 5 month period there are times where it works well and times when it doesn’t seem to be doing anything, and times when you feel like it’s working against you, but I didn’t really know how it would consistently impact my life until month 5. My SSRI Zoloft was probably one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done. I’m currently into my 3rd year on it at the minimal dose and I can’t remember the last time i had a side effect, I think at this point it’s actually very subtle but I dig it😌 I’m on a mix of meds so it’s hard to say what is doing what but my will power got stronger with just lots of time of working on myself. thanks for your comment!!!
I’m about to try Wellbutrin for a second time (lower dose 75mg, 150mg was too intense for me). We shall see if it doesn’t make me feel like I had six cups of coffee. I may just be a person who doesn’t need the extra energy that some people need when they are depressed. If it does the same increases heart rate, I may need an ssri instead.
Wellbutrin is cocaine + rocket fuel! Its a lot i totally understand. Has it been helpful for the depression? I forget what i said in the video but i recall wellbutrin leveling out a few months in. The Ssris are great but they take a awhileeee to kick in. my zoloft made me a zombie for like 3 months and then finally worked. I hope the 75 works for you, i dont know if those are extended release but hopefully they will be kind to you! thanks so much for commenting! keep me posted on your progress!
@robertmakesashow7089 Aripiprazole is also said to be cocaine, but it is an antipsychotic and I had akathisia from that drug. Does Wellbutrin Cause Restlessness?
Hi, i am also diagnosed by psychiatric with personality disorder called avpd and I have depression. How about bupropion to increase dopamin because I've been feel anhedonia. Please give some notes
It’s definitely difficult to say, i definitely spend very little time socializing but am personally starting to realize that this is my personality. I basically want to be by myself and read 99% of the time. I have had a kind of avoidant personality disorder but i think my antianxiety and antidepressants did more for that than my bupropion but it is again hard to say. I’m definitely a more self confident in my abilities around people (still struggle with other insecurities) which is basically the crux of avpd. My buspar and zoloft to a lesser degree was helpful. I take very very low doses of these, started with the buspar and after half a year moved into zoloft. Zoloft was a tough adjustment but interestingly i’m not really afraid of people so much but I still do very little socially 😅 I think if there is stuff that you still enjoy, even if that means video games or watching shows or searching interesting stuff on reddit you just might be more introverted and less struggling with anhedonia. With that being said, i’m still very fortunate for my meds, workout routine and diet.
I’m on Trintellix and Wellbutrin. I don’t notice the latter so much.
Ohhh! I’m not Familiar with Trintellix! How is it working for you? Thank you for your comment🙏✨
Hi thanks for the info, my psychiatrist recommended this and I said I’ll sleep on it. I see that it really helps but was wondering, did you experience hair loss?
Hi! thanks for the comment! I did experience a little hair loss which was very disconcerting at the time. i started noticing it at 4 months but it eventually stopped like after 6-7 months. some people don’t get this at all, my hair is on the fine side so it was easy to tell.
Are you still taking it? Would love to know if you’re taking it or not
Dude I wish I was a friend of yours. That being said I know the darkness of not being able to leave your bed and people who don’t understand getting mad at you.
Thank you
Thank you!! Appreciate your comment!🙏✨✨✨
Can you drink alcohol while taking 150mg of Wellbutrin XL?
Very very good and important question. The answer is DEPENDS! Technically no. Wellbutrin especially in high levels can raise your seizure threshold which is awful. Now that is what you’re supposed to do and what me and everyone will advise you to do. for me personally speaking as a non-professional medical person, not drinking on this drug isn’t exactly realistic. for me in the beginning probably for 3 to 4 months I didn’t want to risk it. In fact, there are family members in my family who have epilepsy, and I wasn’t exactly really interested with dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. however around the five month mark I didn’t have any more side effects and I felt like my body had adjusted to the medication. I decided to have one to two drinks and anecdotally. Everything was fine. again, that’s my nonprofessional opinion to this day. I’m not really a big drinker. I usually have that two drinks max and have had no negative experiences. With that being said talk with your doctor. 😌✨✨✨ thanks for the comment and the excellent question!
@@robertmakesashow7089 Thanks for answering. I think the medication is great for my symptoms but the side effects are a pain to deal with the first few weeks. And I did have a drink recently but the next day my mood was off so I won't be doing that again.
did you take wellbutrin on empty stomach or after a meal? in the morning or before the bed?
Thanks for the comment!!✨🙏 I take it with a meal early in the morning, for me, it’s super early cause I get up for work at 5:45 AM so I usually take it around 6am…i realize that very early 🙃
anyone know for real how alcohol effects people who take wellbutrin. I’m looking for realistic results and not over the top insight.
not realistic results, for real, is your butt falls off…. Realistic results are you might have a seizure.
My experience is that I get intoxicated with much less alcohol. I am 62 and been drinking my whole adult life, I am no lightweight. If you are going to drink I recommend trying it at home before going to a bar or restaurant. For me drinking is not as fun as it used to be, so I drink much less so I guess it’s a good thing. Hope this helps, good luck be careful.
Thanks for this awesome video. I was on Effexor did not help me and today asking my doctor and going on this med. are you still on it and feeling good? If yes same dose? What did you do for the sleep part?
I’m still on it! Same dose 150 xl . It’s working for me! My sleep issues are loooong gone thankfully but I’m also currently taking just a lil melatonin before bed 2mg 30 mins before bed. I’m pretty sensitive to meds I guess but I don’t really believe in upping the dose, It’s a crutch but not a wheelchair I just want to use it as support. This is of course my personal opinion which few people share. I also exercise, sleep as best I can, and eating super clean (gluten free and dairy free which few people can do but honestly it’s my secret weapon) The sleep issue was really annoying at first but it really does go away and doesn’t affect my sleep at all. Sorry for this super long rant, thank you so much for your comment!! It really made my day! I hope you’re doing well, lemme know if you’re on the wellbutrin and if it’s working for you!✨✨✨ thanks again🙏
@@robertmakesashow7089 i do take melatonin as well and still have a lot of headache but hope for it all to be better thank you
i’m hoping that headache went away 🙏✨✨✨
3:25 Anhedonia. Hahahaha. yeah.... never felt that before. Oh wait... 😞 Yes. Yes I have. All the time.
I hope you find something that works for you!✨🙏
Did it affect your libido in any way?
wellbutrin made me legitimately hyper sexual in the beginning. i was not exactly manic but i certainly got a libido boost. it eventually normalized in about a month. i’m only on the 150xl i can’t imagine how i’d get on 300 or more mg. i was taking it for anhedonia and it helped a bit and my energy was pretty great!
@@robertmakesashow7089 Thanks for the reply! Lexapro caused anhedonia and destroyed my libido years ago even after quitting. I finally decided to give Wellbutrin a go recently since I heard good things about it. It's been about 2 weeks since I started it at 300mg, and I haven't felt any good or bad side effects. Hopefully it kicks in eventually.
I still get hard as a rock and I'm 57 , 😀✌️
Rock on man
🙏✨✨✨ you are the best! Appreciate you
hi man,i have rezidual shizo,can i take wellbutrin,can it be taken cause of shizo,and will it do good for me,as i am lillte addict??
Thank you for the comment!!✨🙏 You have to be very very careful if you have any existing mental health issues and consult with a psychiatrist before trying any of these medications! I hope you find the help that you need!✨
3:48 BEGINS
much appreciated😅 I gotta learn how to do this!✨✨✨
lots of videos and posts from people who have been on this drug for a relatively short amount of time feeling great and everything. cool. i felt great taking it, too. at least i did in the beginning. i took it for 10 months and had to stop because the suicidal and hostile thoughts almost LITERALLY killed me. it was a close call. turns out it's a known side effect. i'd really like to hear from people who have been on this for more than a year straight.
I'm sorry that was your experience!! Obviously your story is valid. Thankfully, I'm feeling right as rain. I plan on doing a update video, I've just been busy moving states and careers.
I was on this drug for 10 years total (300mg for 8 years and 450mg for the last 2 years). I've recently been off of it now for 8 months and am considering going back on due to the lack of focus, energy, sadness and weight gain. But long term the issues I had were an increase in my anxiety and irritability (however I think my job was the biggest culprit of this and not necessarily the medicine).
1:45 "Despite all of that, I was super funk, super depressed." How's your blood ferritin levels? 😀
Excellent! last time I checked
It's funny, I started both of them at once and yea my anxiety was a little sparked up here and there, but being more awake really helps me be less anxious due to past trauma. I'm 2 weeks in, feeling much more positive!!!! Also I am more productive than usual. It's really nice!! I'm glad these meds are also working for you!!! I love seeing the positive experiences people have been having.
obviously depression can be reduced by positive life changes but sometimes some chemical assistance can get you to start making those changes.
ABSOLUTELY!!!✨😌 couldn’t agree more! thanks for your comment 🙏✨
As someone who suffers with dysthymia with absolute lack of motivation and oodles of lethargy and chronic fatigue but also has bouts of anxiety, I'm fucking lost.
I’m so sorry to hear, anxiety and lethargy are an awful pair 😩 i’m not a mental health professional but I’d be willing to bet there is a physiological health component to your issues. If you aren’t already cutting out weed, alcohol, and cleaning up your diet I would highly highly recommend. also 3-5 sessions of cardio a week is the more effective than any pharmaceutical on the market hands down. I have a semi boring video about the only self help advice you’ll ever need, i talk about this in the video. I hope you hang in there, i’m sending you my positive energy, you can overcome this💪✨ thank you again!
You are amazing! Love your energy and passionate heart. I'm sure people would be lucky to have you as their nurse. 💜🥹
😭❤️✨ thank you thank you. I really appreciate that! I try my best to bring positivity humor and energy to my patients as much as I can 🙏
Our journey is so similar
well that’s validating! ✨ hope things continue to move in a positive direction 😌✨✨✨ thanks for your comment!
Dude you are funny 😁
i know it doesn't work anymore. that was the hoenymoon phase
Can wellbutrin for anhedonia?
I think Wellbutrin is probably the best suited for anhedonia in my very non clinical opinion. If you have really bad sucidality or mania/hypo mania I’d definitely be careful and consult your doctor. I think anhedonia can sometimes be an effect of the underlying anxiety or depression. Getting my anxiety down certainly helped by anhedonia. Though I am coming to terms with my desire to do very little as my personality and not so much my depression or anhedonia.
@@robertmakesashow7089 Are you still taking bupropion? Unfortunately it seems that in Indonesia it is rarely used, because it is not popular. In addition, it may not be borne by the state. I thought anhedonia, difficulty speaking, slow speech like confused people hindered me, I thought was it due to a lack of dopamine?
🥹🥹I love your personality you made me smile❤
D’awww Thank you!!✨🙏 you’re too too sweet. 😌✨
I took my first dose of Wellbutrin at 6 am, and this video makes me want to cry. Like good cry. To think I could be happy and have energy again after 14 years and hearing someone tell me it works is indescribable. Thank you for the hope 🤍
this makes me so happy 😌✨✨✨✨ I sending you so much good energy, you will absolutely find your center again, stick with it!!! These drugs can take lots of time, too much time usually, but stay the course! You got this, I know it💪✨ thank you for your amazing comment!
Are you still thriving, sis? I hope you are doing so well!
@user-hn9qj7nm1c Yes! Oh my goodness. I can't even begin to tell you the impact this has made on my life. It's night and day. I actually have energy and look forward to waking up in the mornings. Not being miserable the second I wake up and exhausted the rest of the day. I genuinely feel like I'm living and thriving instead of suffering until I can get back in bed. It's really, truly, from the bottom of my heart, saved my life. I can't say enough good things.
Omg 🥹🥹 I am so happy for you! Truly, genuinely happy you are doing so well! I just started Wellbutrin 2 days ago and can already feel some changes! To think I was so scared 🙄😂
@user-hn9qj7nm1c I'm so excited for you. It's really the best thing that's ever happened to me. It's a decently strong medication so you might get some side effects but PLEASE keep going. There's so much light on the other side. The bad stuff goes away, if you get any, in a few weeks. 1000% worth it. Keep us updated!
Il te provoque pas de l'anxiété??????????
a little! but the buspar definitely helped! ✨ after a while that little extra anxiety went away, and my body got used to it!
Omg so me !!! The fog -yikes
Da fog…. was so real……it rolls away tho. Hang in there!
Did anyone else get severely nauseous while taking Wellbutrin??
I was not severely nauseous on wellbutrin, i’m not sure if it’s a common effect but all oral medication run the risk of GI effects including nausea. Try taking it with food and consistently. Make sure you’re not having any allergic reactions like itchyness, rash, any inflammation. Consult your doc, cuz i’m just some dude on the internet :)
Yes very nauseous but I started taking it with food and have no more nausea 😊
Wellbutrin destroyed my ex. Made her a psychotic suicidal mess. Idk why yt is throwing this video in my feed, but be very careful with ssris. She felt great at first then 3 months in she was screaming at her family and friends, breaking down mentally in stores, and acting recklessly and with no impulse control. My mental health turned to a wreck trying to hold her together and getting her off this terrible drug.
Welbutrin is an atypical antidepressant, it’s not an SSRI. Did she ever find success using a different medication, or still struggling?
Like the commenter said above. Wellbutrin is not an SSRI. But you’re right, people have to be incredibly careful with these meds. I’m sorry it was so detrimental to her health😞 these drugs are not for everyone and people should be very cautious and take this very seriously. I wonder if after the 3 months they changed her dosing. Regardless it seems like it was not the drug for her. I’m sorry you got caught up in the chaos of it all, you sound like a wonderful partner doing your best to help her, even at your own expense. I hope you and your mental health are in a good place right now, I wish you all the best✨ thank you for sharing your story.
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448 not sure. We broke up after she quit the drug cold turkey, started hallucinating and her whole personality became cold and cut off. She blamed me for all her issues and became more reckless and untrustworthy. Terrible having someone you loved change in an instant into something unrecognizable. She had many exes before me. Two kids from two different men. I was her longest relationship just over 1 years, I can see why now. Her mom is bipolar and I really think she is too.
@@robertmakesashow7089 thank you. It’s been a tough few months after our break up. Right after my grandfather died she blamed me for all her issues. Hurtful thing to hear and hold on to. I’ve also been dealing with Lyme disease, just diagnosed, and the stress of all this has worn me down. Starting to feel better with treatment. I really think she is bipolar. I don’t know how else to explain her behavior. I miss her two boys very much and hope she eventually finds real help.
I thought it was only me who could tell a difference immediately
💜
✨💜💙💜💙✨
So was it adhd? All long, ? that turned into depression ? So u tghought u have depression? And now that adhd is getting treated u feel like ur depression is going away as well?
I never really got diagnosed with adhd. I don’t think I have it truly, maybe a very very mild version. But i think that theory of fixing my focus to fix my anxiety was kinda debunked. I imagine that that is the case for some. Thanks for your comment🙏✨
Thanks for the vid 🫡
Thank you!!! 🙏 ✨ appreciate your comment!
7:55 Good luck trying to make people feel better if you had depression. 😁 🐕
Thank you!!!🙏 ✨
Wellbutrin works well but they took me off because I have epilepsy
Makes total sense! it’s definitely been known to cause seizures. I hope you were able to find a solution that worked for you. Wishing you all the best on your mental health journey 😌✨🙌
@@robertmakesashow7089 still looking but going to try lexapro. I hope it works well and within days lol. Have a great day
bro, you didn't hug enough animals. obvi.
…u right…u right!! there’s nothing an animal embrace cannot cure… gonna get me a hugging goat… name him “zoloft”.
Grapes really dump that excess water from wellbutrin bloating. And bloating in general
Interesting!!🤔 luckily I haven’t gotten a side effect from wellbutrin for years. sometimes the sugar from the grapes makes me a lil gassy/bloated though, But that might just be a me thing! Thank you for your comment 🙏✨
@@robertmakesashow7089 for sure, grapes are sugary. Unfortunately a lot of diuretics are sweet as heck
Cute TH-camr
I’m 10 days in. 🎉🎉
Woooooo!!! So proud of your accomplishment!✨🙌 this is not easy stuff, you should be impressed by your own resilience and willpower! awesome work!!! :)
En mi semana dos con 150 mg es gracioso y penoso como se me revolvian las palabras para hablar 😂
funny and painful!! if that’s not life in a nutshell, I don’t know what is!! I hope you’re doing OK!🙌✨ thank you so much for commenting hang in there I wish you the best of health!!✨
WTF is with all of these smiling people and Wellbutrin videos. 😀
🤷♂️ ✨
Are you able to share how it affects your sexual health?
I forget which but I mentioned it in one of my videos. Overall it was a net positive!! Now I don’t really feel the effects of it anymore but I’m still on it.
i couldn't explain you are literally me
Whaaaa… youtube twins?? 👯 Thanks for your comment! Wishing you the best!✨
Took my first dose of bupropion today at 8 pm
Wooo✨✨✨ congratulations. Its a bit of wild ride in the beginning but give your body time to adjust. You’ll probably know if you like it or not for certain at the 6 week mark! Thanks for your comment!
Update?
I’m going to try and release an update soon!!🙌✨
I can't sleeppppppp
Oh noooooo!!😫😫😫 i’m sorry this stuff really can mess up your sleep especially if you weren’t a good sleeper to begin with. It took me 2 months or so before I could sleep normally. Taking this stuff now for 3 years, I feel like I can take this stuff before bed and sleep like a brick. I hope you’re starting to get your sleep back! 😴 Thanks for your comment!

"It's basically an amphetamine".
IT'S OBJECTIVELY NOT.
There's none of that in it.
Your videos great, and it's good to see you're doing well but it needs to be spoken in terms of a serious drug group like amphetamines
