- Bupropion is an antidepressant and a smoking cessation aid. The drug has been tested in many other conditions, including ADHD, obesity, and seasonal affective disorder.
It has multiple pharmacological mechanisms and it's still not entirely clear how bupropion works.
Some recreational use has been reported, though the substance usually isn't very pleasant and it can be dangerous.

Bupropion is a miracle for me. From a totally disgusting state of misery and addiction to a new guy who doesn't drink or smoke in 6 months. Gone are the days of sadness
Wellbutrin (after trying a few other anti depressants) has literally been a life saver for me.
Same, I love this stuff.

Any hair loss?
It's been a miracle drug for me. I battle Schizoaffective depression, and Wellbutrin keeps my depression at Bay and keeps me from hurting myself.
You’ve got Schizoaffective disorder, depressive type.
Im schizoaffective depressive type and i find bupropion doesnt do much..
I'm so happy it worked for you! I take it and it's the only non sedative psyc med that work's for me. SSRI's work awful for myself.
@@Malchus13 There are lot's of other options with psyc meds. Benzodiazpines, SSRI's and dozen's of other med types. Just find A good Dr. It took me around 7 year's to find all the the right med's for me. Good luck. :)
How were your prescribed this, I’m tired of apprizol and all these others meds I’ve tried.
I love how in depth this is, from chemistry to history. I appreciate it!
I used to be on Wellbutrin. One time when I was on it, I smoked a small amount of weed before I took a shower. When I started to take the shower, I became convinced that the bathroom detached itself from the house and was hurling through space and I was freaked out that if I opened the door I would be sucked into space.
I've read somewhere that bupropion can induce psychosis when combined with cannabis...
That may be your response. However, it's not the response most people have. Antidepressants don't help everyone and they may not even be the best first-line treatment in many cases. Yet they are a useful tool for a very large number of patients.
Do you have any evidence that supports that view? It's an incredibly weak argument. Even very low-tier evidence can get published in the many journals that exist. A documentary in the absence of actual data isn't evidence.
There are so many similar stories out there... It either saves or takes someone's life. People can become a different person on alcohol too i.e. sober being the nicest person and become violent when drinking. Especially the first weeks on SSRI's are critical for risks like suicidal behavior.
It doesn't either "save or take someone's life". The vast majority of people have either no response, a beneficial response, or minor negative short-term effects. The rate of death or severe adverse effects is very low, which I also mentioned on the TDC site.
My will power allowed me to quit smoking the 2nd day of taking Bupropion! I still get the cravings but I immediately put my focus on something else. I'm on my 5th day smoke free! My daughter is extremely happy. God is good!
Freckled Beauty Still smoke free?
update?
Hi
first time i ran while on this stuff was so damn relaxing afterwards.
If you start to get that general uncomfortable feeling from the medication I highly recommend exercising.
Agreed!
Interesting point I will keep this in mind for sure
that's the way we were supposed to deal with adrenaline/noradrenaline
My depression had me sleeping for 9 to 14 hours straight and getting up was a struggle. My first week into Welbutrin 100 mg SR and my energy levels have made a huge 180. Thanks for laying out the seizure risks too, I've been scared because I used to drink heavily before starting welbutrin. I see why the doctor started me so low now.
Sound like u almost have narcolepsy
Thank you for being transparent because i was prescribed bupropion 2 month and is/was scared to take it but my depression seems to be getting worst especially my energy level mood swing and lack of interest in things. I think I was try it
My Dr just prescribed me with Bupropion XL 150. This video helped me understand the drug better. Thank you.
@Julia so 8 months later how do you feel on Wellbutrin i have been on it 2 weeks and have anxiety but that could be the coffee i drink
Update(
@@pianowizard2861 One year later, how do you feel? I'm at a week and a half right now. Had some good days, but some day I couldn't get out of bed.
ayyy same lol
Adderall, Percocet, Xanax, Oxycodone are all pain meds and other drugs. The only place to get hold of it without prescription is at👇

They are good and their services are awesome💯✅
For me it is working just fine. I quit smoking after 23 years of the nasty habit. Started to lose weight and the only problem is insomnia also helped me quit klonopin after 15 years of use without feeling all crazy. Took me one month.
wow you quite doing k-pins after being on benzos for 15 years ,how was that withdrawal i was 2mg xanax for 3 years had the worst withdrawal ever i had a seizure was rushed to the hospital i could not sleep or get comfy for 3 months i had restless leg syndrome and i was only doing 1 xanax bar sometimes 2 a day and jesus it was rough i been clean off benzos since feb 7 2018 i don't think i would ever take them again on a regular to dangerous for me how was your experience
I love the videos. some of the chemistry is over my head, but everything else is really helpful. keep up the good work
Great work TDC! I listened to all your podcasts on Spotify.
Man, this drug fucked me up for months when I got prescribed it. Bouts of hypomania, neurosis and even mild hallucinations. I'm glad it exists for the people it does help tho!
how are you feeling now?
It's working for me. But I'm only on day 2.
@@saechak206 Much better. I got prescribed the medication for misdiagnosed ADHD+depression. It was C-PTSD and Wellbutrin didn't do anything for it. Talk therapy is doing wonders tho!
@@XephreWolf I'm pretty sure my girlfriend has C-PTSD (she is currently just diagnosed with severe PTSD and crippling depression as well as Anxiety) so I understand what you're going through to some extent (though I note I of course don't know your trauma). Personally Bupropion has helped with my own depression quite a bit, so I am amazed how negative your reaction was. I hope you're doing better and found a healthy way to cope and express yourself. Also I feel almost obligated to state that I am only 16 and my gf 18 because I feel it gives a lot more context for my situation.
Are you sure you don’t have Bipolar II disorder? Antidepressant medication can trigger manic episodes in those who have Bipolar disorder. I’m getting my Masters in Counseling so I’ve gotta know this stuff lol
3rd day I have no craving for cigs ...i love smoking and now it's completely gross I have to force myself to smoke. Meaning my cigs aren't being touched. So crazy amen
My favorite antidepressant for people who can't get out of bed! Try it!
Hope so man
Bob Smith how was itV
Bob Smith ?*
I’ll start it soon. I cannot get out of bed so cannot wait to feel the effect!
so far so good! Just started earlier this week and I woke up with so much energy yesterday, it was insane!
Idk if it's the drug that has had a fast impact, or if it was just a random day of productivity (they're rare for me, but they do happen).
it's sad how we are all sad
I had a depression episode that lasted 13 months. Within 3 DAYS of starting 300mg of Wellbutrin, I felt the veil of depression start to lift. I was able to return to work within 3 months of starting Wellbutrin. I've tried tons of SSRI meds and this was such a relief.
just got prescribed and having also tried SSRIs im hoping to get some relief glad it worked for you fgriend
SSRI'S have way to many side effects.
I hope youre still good 💙🍀
@VG Vamika Gautam I'm good! Currently not taking Wellbutrin because I felt ready to go off it.
@Mia-xs4pc Bupropion has considerably less intrusive side effects from my experience than SSRI (the main reason why I stopped my SSRI other than the fact it did not work). The only really problematic side effects to look out for are excessive stimulation, insomnia, SI, and seizures. I personally have experienced none of these and the only thing I get is a headache when the meds wear off (similar to a caffeine withdrawal) and it in fact even improves my sleep.
Lifelong adhd sufferer here at 34, been on and off stimulants most my life. Now I'm getting high bp and can't take stimulants, bupropion has been amazing and I was surprised in it's ability to help me focus. It's also easier to sleep and eat while on this med. Good drug.
how long did it take for you to reap any benefit?
@@workingonitsoon576 about a week
I’m also diagnosed with adhd and also find Wellbutrin xl definitely effective for my adhd!
I also enjoy how it’s not a controlled substance which makes it easier to obtain and gives me more peace knowing in the long run it’s much easier to get
@@ergenekonualkslayanliberal1077 it’s still going pretty well , still take it everyday.
Thanks Seth, have been waiting for this one for a while
Wellbutrin is not like other anti-depressants, I've taken a ton of them so I have quite the experience. Wellbutrin is the only safe anti-depressant I've taken, it actually works and gives me no side-effects.
It made me super angry the first week I’ve been on it idk what that was all about

That is unfortunate, MrVagingris. I was prescribed bupropion and decided not to take it after seeing the effects of SSRIs (which I realize bupropion is not) on family members. Decided instead to smoke a lot of cannabis. It works pretty well but side effects include stacks of pizza boxes
Lola .actually my dr priscribe me too for ptsd.i am so confused should i take or not?can u help me to make a decsion
@Maryam PTSD cannot be cured by medication but antidepressants may decrease many of the symptoms, depending also on which symptoms you suffer from most. Bupropion might be better than SSRI in PTSD, because of less side effects and improving not so much serotonine but dopamin.
But PTSD can only be cured with traumatherapy, I would highly recommend IRRT ( Imagery Rescripting & Reprocessing Therapy) it took away all my panic attacks, flashbacks, intrusions, fear of knifes, constant fear of my loved ones dying, breathing problems, tachycardia, the sense of beeing stuck on the day the trauma ocurred... I finally felt alive and human again and was able to go through the pain, anger, dispair and sadness, let go and move on :) I think it is important to find a therapist you feel comfortable with that uses a method of reprocessing, eg. IRRT or EMDR. Medication may help make the current situation more bearable. I hope you get better soon! :)
Personally, Wellbutrin helped me after kicking a daily weed habit. I always had a bad attitude and felt down after the dreaded withdrawal stage (about a few weeks). After I kicked weed for a month I came to a conclusion that I was smoking week to mask something else. I got prescribed this from the Dr and I’ve been a lot calm and my attitude is slowly coming to being normal and nice, and not a jerk.
Same here, word for word same thing I went through after getting prescribed it. Glad you’re feeling better
Very insightful. Thanks!
Weed withdrawal? I wake and bake every day, but when I'm out of it, it doesn't bother me at all, I can go for months and not even crave it that much. I mean I still want it, but I'm not gonna drive 150+km just to go get it. I don't get weed withdrawal
Great information, thank you. I’ll be starting it in a week, wish me luck.
Good luck
I just was put on this medication for Seasonal affective disorder, ADHD and to help curve my cravings from food and the negative effects of my binge eating disorder from BPD. I am now on 150mg Rx. Only side effect I have is dry mouth.
Most of my family members are also on this medication for depression, and
Seasonal affective disorder.
That's funny you mention the smoking cessation, I knew it had those affects. I started taking Bupropion (300 mg) a little over a month ago and I needed to quit smoking because of surgery coming up and one day I just decided I wasn't going to smoke and it came so natural that it shocked me.
I just hit 4 weeks not smoking today (11/8/17) and I feel so much better and I still can't believe that I quit cold turkey so easily. My mood is much higher and I'm no longer depressed. I haven't felt so free from my own mind for many years. Zoloft never did this for me. Although I am more emotional, I cry easier but then I usually laugh because what I'm crying over is literally nothing to cry over. XD Anyway thanks for the video!!
Same here, I used to smoke about a pack a day and after I started wellbutrin I felt no need for nicotine and quit cold turkey aswell. Great drug apart from possible hair loss.
Wellbutrin XL is the best anti-depressant for me. I take it first thing in the morning and it lifts my mood and energy without any negative side effects. I can’t tell I’ve even taken it, other than the fact that my energy is higher. I did lose my appetite (and about 10 lbs in the first 4 months) when I first started taking it but that effect has gradually decreased and now my appetite has fully returned. I quit smoking almost immediately upon beginning Wellbutrin since it made it impossible for me to get a nicotine high, so smoking was just frustrating and gross. Just 25 mg of Zoloft had me hallucinating and blacking out within 3 days (probably a severe adverse reaction) so if anyone else is having issues with SSRI’s, I’d definitely suggest trying bupropion. Umm but don’t snort it? 🤦♀️ Thanks for this video. I was curious how the drug worked.
Whaaat? It gives me one hell of an appetite... Like to the point where im full all day everyday. But by now I can avoid overeating even if I still feel very hungry.
Still on it..any hair loss?
Do you noticed a major hair loss?
I started taking welbutrin because I have had pretty intense executive dysfunction (what I believe may be apart of undiagnosed ADHD given how commong it is in my family and also due to my behavior during childhood) Welbutrin definitely seemed to improved my life and makes me a lot more stable. And even if I was specifically diagnosed I would much prefer welbutrin over something like Adderall

Good work!
I love this channel , I find the chemistry behind these drugs so amazing and this channel nails everything about them you could probably ask. That being said i have bad anxiety and some depression issues as well as narcolepsy , i tried ssri's and made me worse like angry and starting fights on stupid stuff and i hate Xanax also of course makes even more tired but i came across an talked to my doc she put me on the XL at a starting dose of 150mg a day and man its only been a week and this drug is amazing puts me in the best mood , anxiety is just super low and i got some energy and confidence to just talk to anyone where id just avoid them before truly amazing especially if you cant take ssri's or others definitely try this and huge thank you to who owns this channel for all the info you provid again just amazing ,definitely a big supporter thank you.
This is the best antidepressant I've been prescribed and I take it with a mood stabilizer (Lamictal) because I was also diagnosed Bipolar 2... I have had major depression and Lamictal helped that also. Whenever I've tried other antidepressants they have made me feel weird or 'manic' irritable etc.
your channel is very helpful. Thank you for doing those Videos. (sry for my bad english)
Ibu800Abuse *-* making these videos*. Your English is pretty good you'd be able to conversation if your English is on the same level as this sentence
I just started it 5 days ago. So far I've had sore throat like drainage from allergies, mild aches and like I'm stuffed up. Anybody else? Does this usually go away after a while? Just wondering bc it would be annoying if I always felt like this
Great channel Thanks for the valuable info bro
I've been on Wellbutrin for about a month now. The first couple of weeks were marked with terrible insomnia. I could fall asleep, but I wouldn't stay asleep. Also good to note, I work night shift so I had to switch up the times I would take it. ALSO... I run on caffeine.. or at least I used to. A combination of Wellbutrin and coffee would give me major palpitations and tachycardia. Once I cut the caffeine down, those symptoms drastically decreased.
The major positive that I can notice thus far is that it definitely increases my energy and ability to focus. I've gotten so much more stuff done and have increased my ability to focus on tasks much more effectively. Prior to this, my depression left it hard to get up off the couch to do anything other than the essentials (i.e. go to work, eat, do laundry when it was overflowing). Now I find myself looking for things to do.
DO NOT TAKE THIS BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP. I typically take it about a half hour after I wake up. I work night shift so I take it at 5pm and then 6 hours later (I work 12 hour shifts). This seems to be the best for me. You'll have to mix it around and see what exactly works for you.
Also, I've seen other videos where it says that your have decreased alcohol tolerance. YOU SHOULD NOT BE DRINKING WHILE TAKING WELLBUTRIN. It is contraindication completely and can cause an increase in seizure activity.
It is honestly hard to tell if it's affected my depression. My anxiety is a bit worse on this but nothing that I feel I can't manage. What has really helped is therapy. TO NOTE: I began therapy 3 months before going on any antidepressant. So this has been supplemental to that. I feel that worked the best for me.
tesresterone should help get tested and dopamine in wellburton should get you motivated that's what I might do as other antidepressants deffinitlt cause erectile dysfunction commonly known as hard on and it stops you from ejeculating serious if you have a girlfriend or wife steroids and wallbuton sounds good
It only increases seizure activity if you're withdrawing from alcohol.
How did you switch up your doses while working a night shift?? I also work a night shift and am starting on this medication soon.
I take Wellbutrin 150 mg but it gives me many side effects memory loss confusion and visual problems that is because of the Nicotinic blockade nach receptors
Love this channel its a great resource
I've been on 300mg for 2 and a half years. I was on celexa only for a long time before I finally added Bupropion. When I was on only celexa I would often get strong waves of depression and hopelessness. I was emotionally unstable and felt drained all the time. I was definitely lacking something in my brain and when I started taking Bupropion it felt like it replenished whatever I was missing. It took away the overbearing waves of emotional pain that used to overcome me all the time. That being said, although I consider it a huge help, I still get depressed sometimes but I've been able to pull myself out way easier ever since taking Bupropion I've never experienced any side effects other than dry mouth. I sleep fine but then again I've always struggled with chronic fatigue. I don't know if Bupropion made a huge difference in that regard but maybe that's because I'm just a naturally low energy person.
Yeah, same here. I'm just always tired for no reason. Since starting this drug I'm more motivated and ready to get things done.
Good information I'm on it it helps give a little uplift with feeling more alive and interested more in things
its the opposite for me. idk why
I take bupropion for my depression and ADD. At first I took 150mg and the first week was horrible. I was maybe even more depressed than before but because my doctor told me that could happen and it would only last 1 week maximum I knew I wouldn't feel like that forever. After the first week I didn't notice much difference before I was taking bupropion. My doctor upped the dosis to 300mg and immediately after taking it the first time I felt like a whole different person. I can even sit still and focus on my work now and I feel better than I have in a long time.
I also smoke weed to help me sleep and I had no bad experiences with it so far.
@Barribudda ́ lmao
Has anyone had anxiety as a side effect? When does it go away?? Im taking Paxil 40mg along with wellbutrin 150mg xl a week ago for depression and it s giving me a terrible anxiety.
This drug works good for both depression and ADHD. It doesn't leave me all strung out feeling like those feelings accompanied with Amphetamine and Ritalin.
I couldn't handle feeling boated, farting non-stop, and sweating at 60F.
There is amphetamine in wellbutrin so...
James Iron Please, link that fact that amphetamine is in Wellbutrin. I’ll be waiting....
James Iron Wellbutrin is an aminoketone, not an amphetamine. It’s far closer to a cathinone group that an amphetanine group.
@@djmemphisa did you know methamphetamine is prescribed to kids as a second line treatment for ADHD?
The effect of Bupropion is doubled sided: Sometimes at lower doses it improves depression, but depending of the other medicines you are taking, it may come to undesired effects. Several times I became very euphoric, then, agitated, then, angry and finally agressive ( Which I never was ). I noticed that it was due to bupropion, and I had to calm down using bromazepam to control. Even using the same doses every day, the results may be unpredictable, so, I avoid it. This drug even when used for depression can both bring heaven and hell to earth. Take care with bupropion and never mix with other stimulants.
I had a similar story to that.
I’m exhausted all the time and heard good things about increasing energy. I hope this helps, as nothing else has!
You might have sleep apnea
Anyone know if this helps with disassociation? I struggle with it badly because I cant grasp reality and was recently prescribed to it. Thanks
I keep hearing opposite opinions about taking Bupropion while smoking weed. Is it safe to do? I was prescribed Bupropion as an anti-depressant and stopped taking it after the first couple days due to increased anxiety but I want to try using it again to see if it works. I haven't gone to get a new prescription yet so I'm currently still prescribed it and have some and wanted to try it again today.
Wellbutrin has been the best antidepressant I have ever been on and I have been dealing with mental illness for over 30 yrs.I have been prescribed everything imaginable.
Why didn't they try the amphetamine version rather than the cathinone version? Body load is always worse with cathinones.
I just got this perscribed and this description sounds almost too good to be true, popping the first one tomorrow so we'll see :D
How'd it go?

Since I have been discharged from mental hospital I am facing problem of fatigue/strain, feeling like layer covered the whole brain, less energy in brain cells, no capacity to workout/duties, insomnia. To whomsoever psychiatrist I have consulted they are prescribing antidepressants/antipsychotic (escitalopram, etizolam,sodium valproate, bupropion,zolpidem,etc.). Is this the only way to overcome such problems? is there any psychiatrist to answer me for this?
I have taken this before for depression I was Impressed with its anti- Smoking effect
I broke out in serious hives from this and had to be on steroids for 6 weeks til it was out of my system. But it worked well for depression, just allergic to it.
Great video 👍👍👍
Hey so my psychiatrist prescribed me burproprin 150 mg twice a day with hydroxyzine 10 mg. After watching your video i’m definitely only taking one of the 150 mg a day. Thank you so much for the advice but I was wondering if you could possibly help me if you took the other meds with this as well ? My next question , what if you have all the symptoms like sleeping for 3 hrs and outburst, up and down moods ,upset stomach on the regular etc. but haven’t even took it yet ? Does it have the reverse effect?
Thanks for this information! I'm on Wellbutrin now and I recognise some side effects of it. I'm not trying to stop smoking, but now I only smoke one or two times a day and I even trow them away when I smoked only half of it! I still like smoking tho ^^
This has also been used to successfully detox and sustain cessation of amphetamine use and addiction. Thought you would have put that in your vid.
Did you know its chemically similar to methamphetamine .
Really? I used to have and kinda still have a crippling amphetamine sulphate addiction. I tried asking my doc for Wellbutrin and he said it's for heroin junkies etc. Stupid fucking idiot. Prescribed me Effexor which i have no intention of taking and i tried all the polular range of SSRIs. Didn't help. Gonna get this from another psychiatrist or from a bootleg pharmacy.
Friend has been on for 16 year [generic 150mg ER] seems like the positive affects are wearing off. She was also precribed Zanax now as her best friend had passed away a couple of months ago, her dr gave her that just to take the edge off. Not sure if that is a good combo.
Great video.
I take 450 a day it's a underrated drug, it's great for depression, weight loss when you take meds that makes gain weight, and it helps out when you stop talking cocaine and meth, but some people go crazy on this drug, it's not for everybody
It's amazing! Nothing worked for me like bupropion!
I've been on Adderall 30mg XR for a while and am about to start taking Wellbutrin 150mg and was wondering how they may interact. Also wondering if the Wellbutrin will interact with my Effexor or Mirtazepine. Thanks.
I can only speak from my experience I have taken Effexor ,Mirtazipine and wellbutrin .I didnt feel any negatives There is a warning when I checked for interactions it says Effexor XR oral + bupropion HCl oral Potential for serious interaction; regular monitoring by your doctor required or alternate medication may be needed Effexor XR oral increases toxicity of bupropion HCl oral by unspecified interaction mechanism Additional Information: Keep bupropion dose as low as possible as seizures may occur.
I just started taking it and I don’t have any side effects. I can’t tell if it’s working. I’m hoping this is a good sign
I took this when I was younger and how no side effects what so ever. I started taking it again, and had 2 grand mal seizures. This must mean I have a short seizure threshold which I read affects 1 in 1000 patients. So you just never know when a medication is going to turn on you.
Just did 1000mg an I regret it bad worried

Great, but the ear ringing was miserable. So loud and disabled my ability to hear during the rings.
This is happening to me too and my nutritionist swears it’s not it 😂 😡
It's more recreational than you think. IV is the more often used method by people who frequently use it
I find it to be great for quitting smoking. I also have bipolar disorder and ADHD but it doesn't really do too much for others. I also take Dexedrine, Lamictal and PRN Klonopin though.
Wellbutrin helps me a lot but it shortens my sleep! I have several sleep options: Benzodiazepines, weed, Trazodone or mirtazapine ..Mirtazapine makes me fatter, benzodiazepines are addictive, trazodone is not effective and weed has a terrible withdrawal with insomnia ..Please help me ?
I started 150 mg XL almost two weeks ago. Everything has been pretty fine other than one strange side effect. All Meat, coffee, and other "oily" foods smell and taste extremely rancid to me. I've come across other people on bupropion that have had this same side effect... I wonder what causes it?
How are you doing now? I'm guessing you're about 8 weeks in. I'm on 13 days. Wondering about any side effects. Have you raised dose yet? I heard that's common.
@@terriarsenault5345 what are side effects I have been on 150 mg and I feel very nervous and stomach problems, nausea and bloated 🤕
Welbutrin is a stimulant, chemically its very similar to adderall. I used to abuse my adderall prescription pretty bad, and I remember after a night of getting high and not sleeping I would get up and try to force myself to eat something because my stomach would be upset from the lack of food. I get these microwavable chimichangas that I usually love, and eating it is like eating a piece of fuckin garbage. So basically the point is stimulants can cause some people to be repulsed by food. Welbutrin doesn't do this for me personally.
New to this drug in uk as antidepressant. 2 questions: Can you even have one glass of wine when on this or is it too high a risk for seizure? And how do people loose weight on this medication please?
one glass of wine is never a dangerous combination with anything (in my experience at least). also this drug works on dopamine so it keeps you energetic most of the day, and at the same time it suppresses your appetite.
@@sfrgth457 yeah it mostly work on norepinephrine, that's why you feel angry most of the time. the dopamine released in the case of Bupropion only works to keep you from going full out panic mood. but like i said "in my experience" a glass of wine never caused any trouble.

I wouldn't bother with wine when every other source pertaining to this drug strongly advises users to not consume alcohol since it can lead to a myriad of bad effects, including seizures.
@@luckyhappyman3195 no alcohol whatsoever with ANY antidepressant!!!!!
Adderall, Percocet, Xanax, Oxycodone are all pain meds and other drugs. The only place to get hold of it without prescription is at👇

They are good and their services are awesome💯✅
I've been taking Bupropion for about 2 weeks now. The intial side effects we're annoying but not unbearable. After the first 5 days or so the side effects subsided. Just my experience. Anyways, I know it's advised to avoid alcohol while on this medication. Still I'm wondering if it would be okay to have just 1-2 drinks on occasion??
It shouldn't be. I would definitely avoid frequent use and never go above a common dose of alcohol. But drinking once in a while isn't likely to be a problem. If you notice any sort of increase in negative effects, don't repeat using them together. And if you're on bupropion for depression, limiting alcohol is wise anyways.
Is it bad that I have taken this daily for four years straight??? Is this something that’s designed to be taken for just a short period of time?
I was prescribed this before. I read that it reduces the male refractory period. I believed this to be very true.
You mean it did reduce it?
@@lannister6847 I read somewhere that it does. I just started taking it again, but I stopped, because I can’t sleep more than 4 or 5 hours. I think it disrupts my sleep.
This has worked for me except that it causes blurry vision.
I have the same problem
I have ADHD and probably severe depression. After using cocaine once two days ago, I've noticed a dramatic decrease in my depression. Would it be logical to infer from this, that since cocaine works on Dopamine, and Wellbutrin is an NDRI, that Wellbutrin could be effective for me to help manage it?
If it helps, they had me on this when I was around 8 years old. I can't recall if it did anything, I wasn't very depressed back then
Actually, cocaine is an NDRI. So buproprion, or any other NDRI drug, might assist you. Since it's not considered a stimulant, most doctors should be open to prescribing it for you.
Does it work well for depression alone without any SSRIs ? I didn't like the side effects from SSRI .
5:26 - best rapping ever!
My dad freaked out on this stuff.
Can you point me to some reading on receptors and their agonists? If this stuff impacts the same receptors as nicotine, would that mean it provokes the same response? Is bupropion addictive? Is there a reason why nicotine would be carcinogenic while other similar agonists are not? (getting tangential but I'm curious)
P.S. I don't think I saw a video on cipralex/escitalopram. I'd be very much interested in one of those, they had me on it for years.
Wellbutrin is not addictive, was on 300mg XL daily for almost a year I switched insurance and went without for 6 months. Didn't have any sort of withdrawal. I felt completely normal for about a month then my depression slowly started getting worse until it was so bad I found a new doctor and got back on it again. IMO it's miracle drug for certain people with depression
This makes DXM so much better, almost like strong LSD visuals, dissociation head space, some times even holes.
Have any males had success adding this to their SSRI to help with sexual side effects, specifically anorgasmia. I literally cannot orgasm on an SSRI and its a real bummer as they work well for me but i keep going off them because of it.
I am very interested in the topic, cause I would like to start zoloft + wellbutrin.
I have been on zoloft for many years now I am off on everything but I want to cure my dysthymia I can't handle it anymore. and I think this combination would be good for me.
@Mr. Puroresu dosages? what do you take it for? have you resolved the problem??
Is it safe to mix with psychedelics such as lsd, psilocybin or 4acoDMT?
I would also like to know this... For a friend
No
It could increase anxiety, blood pressure and liklihood of a bad trip.
Fun fact the scare about siezures with this drug is pretty overblown. Siezures are no more likely on buproprion then on ssris. Another benefit of burprorion is it slightly increases quality of REM sleep due to its effects on acetylcholine. As opposed to ssris who significantly decrease sleep quality. It doesn't help everyone with adhd but as someone who has an adhd/bipolar comorbidity, it's one of my favorite drugs. It also helped me quit vaping! Avoiding caffiene with buproprion gets rid of the jitters for me. I know it's doenst help most people with adhd but as someone who can't take stimulants for fear of triggering a manic episode, I like this drug a lot.
Can you take this if youre also taking a benzo (valium) ?
I take Auvelity (45mg/105mg) dextromethorphan/bupropion. It’s a rapid-acting antidepressant. Has worked amazingly for me.
I haven't lost weight on it .. I was on paxil for a while ..
Im suferd dipresion ancity im taking nexito. Bupropion 1st week good result. Now not well wat can i do help
I have taken it before as someone with both depression and adhd
Didn't do much for me but I'm happy to hear it's helping other people
I use this, and its been a big help. It doesnt cure my depression, but it gives me relief from constant fatigue.
Before I was taking 30mg of Adderall twice daily and not getting any help. Im now reducing my Adderall. I also realized, I had the will power to quit smoking cold turkey. I still had urges but it was so much easier to say "nah, I dont want to go get smokes".
My doctor just prescribed me Wellbutrin XL 150mg I haven't started taking it yet. I'm taking 20mg of Adderall 3 times a day. I'm hoping that when I start taking the Wellbutrin I can cut down on how much Adderall I take. Thanks so much for your comment! I feel less depressed already! Also how soon before you noticed any effects from the Wellbutrin? If I may ask..
Also congratulations on quitting smoking!! I quit smoking 5 years ago, the only thing that got me off smoking was using a vaporizer. Which I still use... when I started vaping it was before the juul or anything like that. I walk around with one of those big duchy box Mods. But it keeps me from going back to combustible cigarettes. Maybe Wellbutrin will help me quit vaping!
this worked the first i used to treat depression woke me from a coma that i could no longer rewarded or pleasure
This med worked for about two months 150 mg twice daily and then the vertigo set in... oh god the vertigo. Never experienced that in my life.
Which one would be good for quit smoke mathe "Bupropion Wellbutrin-XL or Low Dose Naltrexone"
Or both of them ...?? need to know!!
Bupropion, varenicline, or nicotine replacement will generally be tried first, though there's some evidence for naltrexone.
I'm currently taking 150mg ES. 2 x a day, on it now for a month & 3 weeks, I have 2 side effects, 1. Weight loss (👍) & ringing in my ears. (👎) I would be interested in knowing what will eliminate the ringing in my ear! Thanks! Otherwise it's all good!
I am underweight and this is the only medication I am not allowed to take
Ringing in the ears doesn't stop sadly
I've read tinnitus sometimes stops, sometimes it doesn't. It can continue after three months of discontinuation, if it's acute. But it may be associated with hearing loss, the 'neuronal' type, which means it cannot be solved with any type of surgery (but can be treated).
I took Wellbutrin for ADHD and Anxiety- It made my libido skyrocket to the point where I was thinking about sex all day. Then extreme depression slowly started creeping in after about 3 months. My doctor then prescribed me Adderall which is like a limitless pill. I am currently taking Adderall IR 10MG x 3 daily.
@Jen 1990 I'm on Vyvanse 60mg and an Adderall 10mg IR "rescue dose" if I need extended coverage. (Vyvanse only lasts for about 6hrs for me) It is literally like a limitless pill...
Love your work man! Is there a chance you'll do a video on hydromorphone anytime soon? there are only few reviews and informative pages I can find on it in the web, while there is not a single useful video on it on YT.
Yes, it'll definitely be covered at some point.
It is heaven and hell. Led my family down a dark path just from getting it iv mixed with morphine and pushed through with saline while in the hospital. It was so good I was scared shitless and for good reason. Next 14 years were lockup, addiction, and bad decisions. Wonderful drug some people just don't need to know what it feels like; iv anyways. Much different orally.
I usually take a pill with wellbutrin & dose. This month they gave me an oblong tablet with: I 71 printed on it. Is that form a recognized pill for Bupropion HCL XL 300 mg tablet?
Question. Wondering if anyone has an explanation or can relate to me when I say Bupropion causes severe depression during the first few weeks taking it?
I have ADHD and was prescribed Bupropion after talking with my doctor about alternate medications. I've never really been a depressed person, quite the opposite i'm usually very active and optimistic, but after 1 week taking Bupropion I suddenly have very severe depression.
I was also prescribed Mirtazapine, which may or may not have some sort of interaction; Idunno.
I get random fits of crying, feelings of paranoia, a sort of existential angst, I don't want to be around anybody, and these terrible feelings are so overwhelming that day-to-day life has become even harder than it was before I was even diagnosed. Again, never had any of these symptoms before. These have all appeared 1 week into taking 150mg Bupropion XL.
@Inner Voice Appreciate the feedback. I didn't know it impacted your emotions as it did because it isn't like most ADs, or so I was told, but that first week included a lot of mental stress for me that otherwise wouldn't be there.
It could have been Mirtazapine as well, Idunno.
I ended up stopping just before week 3 because the side-effects were mostly gone by week 2, and i'm just an impatient person that got frustrated by the lack of results. That, and week 1 was pretty hell.
why is it bad when taking tramadol?
i was on an SSRI and tramadol, i was getting headaches once in a while during sex or any strong physical activity but i felt good. i felt more like myself, with more energy and focus.
My psychiatrist switched it to Bupropion XL. first month i got 150mg daily, i felt tired all the time, sad, and just not good. she upped it to 300mg, i still feel tired and just not good.
i wanna ask her to switch me back to SSRI cuz i cant stand this medication :/ even if i have to give up tramadol. i would give up tramadol in a heart beat. ill rather be in pain and happy than still be in pain but now im sad and tired all the time...
anyone else feel tired, twichy, foggyness, no motivation.. etc with bupropion/ Wellbutrin ?
It could very easily give you serotonin syndrome, because Tramadol is technically a SNRI in itself.
@@elisabethandersen1102 "Very easily" what a load of horsecrap. Psychs dont prescribe tramadol and bup together if it was that bad. Even i have mixed the 2. SS is very uncommon. The only real danger is seizures but if ur family doesnt have a history in seizures ur fine as long as ur not going overboard
@@elitepauper7400 just cause you got away with it doesn't make it a safe prescribing practice.
@@elisabethandersen1102 just cause only? There are thousonds of other people in the Netherlands alone prescirbed that combo. stop fear mongering
I took this for years. stopped abruptly, and I feel like I'm going through withdrawal. My whole body is sore. I can't hardly hold down any food at all. Some other things but those are the 2 that really stick out. Has anyone else experience this, or maybe I'm just having the flu? I want to take one pill and see if it helps but I don't want to draw it out longer. Anyone?!?
It is withdrawal like any other psych med and yes it feels exactly like the flu
Hi and congrats for your Channel, great level! Coludidos you do one about AGOMELATIN, Thanks.
This drug saved my life
