    One other thing I noticed was a tremor in my left hand for a few minutes on day 5 I think it was. So that was weird. Also if you have been prescribed this medication, still give it a try, we're all different so you may experience better results. Also maybe watch the video at 1.5x to make up for my slow talking haha.
    UPDATE:
    I decided to stop Wellbutrin as it didn't really seem to be doing much for me other than make me a bit more productive whilst crashing my mood and self esteem down further. Maybe i'll try it again at some point but will be exploring other options for now.

    Hey just wondering how you got Wellbutrin prescribed in the UK - I want to ask my doctor about it, but I heard it's only used for quitting smoking here, not depression.

      Hey man, I bought it from a website called treated.com (told them i was using it to quit smoking...) with a view to getting my doc to continue prescribing it once i'd already been on it for a few weeks, but alas never got to that stage

      They do prescribe it off books for mental health problems in the Uk! You just have to have tried two other antidepressants unsuccessfully first. I got it in the uk for my mental health :)

    Why can’t you carry on using stimulants if they worked so well?

      Good question. Firstly they're really hard to be prescribed in the UK, you'd need a diagnosis of ADHD which is even harder as an adult and i'm not sure I have ADHD, i just think my depression causes attention problems. And i think most people with bad depression would see positive results from stimulants because they release Dopamine which you're most likely lacking with depression so that's going to make everyone feel good. Then there's the fact they will become less effective over time and you may get to a point where you can't do anything without them. I'm not sure they're the answer unless you have extreme ADHD.

    How long is it meant to take to work?

      Wellbutrin is supposed to start working a lot quicker than SSRIs as it acts on Dopamine and not Serotonin. Some people notice it the first day.

    It’s honestly not a good idea to experiment with these kind of drugs. Your doctor should know best how to treat you. Wellbutrin is not given to people with a history of seizures. It doesn’t “cause” seizures per se. I hope you’ve found something safe that has worked for you by now.

      Thank you for the kind words. I don't think even doctors know how to treat us though to be honest. It's a case of try something and see what works.

      Doctors have np real experience and will give you ssris which put you into a zombie state. How many yrs do you want to miss of your life taking that shit. I was chewing my jaw off on sertraline. Vile drugs. These dont affect serotonin they work with dopamine. Doctors arent there to cure you. They follow what the pc says and prewcribe prescribe prescribe without finding why you are unwell. That would cut into their budget.
      People who think doctors know it all are delusional. Doctors are dangerous and havent tried the drugs they prescribe which blow your mind out your ears.
