i like your shirt 😁

I think you are like one of my favorite people on the planet.

I got prescribed Wellbutrin for “depression” but more for my ADHD because they don’t want me taking stimulants anymore (I had a TIA with high blood pressure in November 2023). Tried the Wellbutrin and became an absolute zombie within 2-3 hours after taking it. Tried it a couple more days. Same results and monitoring my BP, it went up about 15-20. Decided it was not for me.

To bring some balance to this discussion, Wellbutrin can be very dangerous, especially for those who have a high strung nervous system and extreme anxiety - remember that it's a stimulant. I was prescribed it as a teenager, and it caused me severe panic attacks and a number of seizures. Furthermore it caused me permanent neurological damage, which has caused some cognitive difficulties and a significant tremor even now, 20 years after quitting the medication. Doctors never warn you about these side effects - they never acknowledged them until I was already brain damaged, and yes, Wellbutrin and other antidepressants are safe for some people, but A LOT of users suffer long-lasting brain damage, sexual dysfunction, metabolic dysfunction, increased suicidality, panic attacks, emotional deadening, and many other horrible effects. Please do your research - and not just from mainstream medical sources - before consenting to put these substances in your body. You may regret it for the rest of your life. I do.

Time to expose the minimalist propaganda

All that shit sucks and doesn’t work

my therapist and i are discussing wellbutrin as an option for me, for im suffering with GAD, Adhd and depressive symptoms. i will say i never took any medication for my mental health and im really scared and nervous i always look at the side effects of medications and think about all the things that could go wrong or what its gonna do to my brain. i feel like im in a constant battle with myself wondering if i really need medication. idk i feel so lost at the moment. as someone with health anxiety im scared to take medication but i wanna get better it’s just been so hard!! any suggestions?? has anyone been through what im describing??

In the beginning, wellbutrin can work fast, by bringing on some energy, motivation, and less depression. However, after being on it for quite a while, it’s lost most of its effectiveness. I’ve asked for an increase, but the doctor is not comfortable going beyond 300mg due to increase in seizure risks. Still on it but had to add another med. The med that worked so well for me for bad fatigue, was Provigil, which is a smart drug initially made for narcolepsy. It became so expensive. Maybe I’ll try it again one day.

I've been on zoloft for the last 2 years and for some reason it's not working anymore or atleast I think so they up from 100mg to 150mg but I think wellbutrin is the next hope

Very helpful thank you

Thank you so much for your vulnerability...I am considering coming off of it. Haven't even watched the entire video yet but I really appreciate your openness

Im having my psych appointment in 3 days and have been eying Wellbutrin since my less positive experience with SSRI's as a teen. Like you said man been sober for 1.5 years and was riding the self care, anti establishment, i can do it im strong mindset but its just not serving me as my depression is reaching bad points yet again. Thanks

oh no i have trouble sleeping my entire life. hmmmm

Thanks so much for your help

Microdosing psilocybin can really have a great effect in rewiring as well.

Hey Conor, I appreciate your video and insight. Was wondering about your mens group. Is that an online thing? Part of a church you go to? I'm hoping to find more of a support group for guys that battle anxiety) depression. I've been to some 12 step groups and they seem a bit sterile too me. Wondering if you have any suggestions? Thanks

There are three forms and three dosages. You left out XL and a dose of 450 mg.

Thank you for this share. I am contemplating using this drug. Your experiences have been good to know

Did you take the med in the morning?

I don’t see why you couldn’t take a low dose as needed. For example, if you don’t get enough sleep. It made my anxiety slightly worse. I felt more laid back when I skipped a day.

Just had a terrifying experience on Buproprion which is why I'm here. Doc started me on 300 mg and ended up at urgent care with "serotonin syndrome". When those commercials say "call your doctor if..." a bunch of bad crap happens- it was that crap.

Dude, you come across as very lost and I daresay oblivious to the root of your depression. Depression and anxiety don't just come out of nowhere. You are not born with it. As a counsellor myself I can tell you that 99.99% of early depression is the result of toxic homes of abuse or neglect with most of my clients. If you haven't fully explored your childhood with a therapist then you are wasting your life away and will unfortunately never heal. You need to grieve whatever it is has created this despair in you. Most clients will have no idea that they were abused because it is locked away deep in their subconscious.

Beware of taking drugs. You can kill yourself from their effects and also getting off them can make you kill yourself. It is highly dangerous.

Me too duke leto

My main problem is my sleeping bag takes up so much room in my bsg

Your so damn hot bro

What about adding butter to it?

I have started taking it for quitting smoking. It's been 6 days and I am still smoking the same number of fags as I used to earlier. Don't know if bupropion will eventually work.

Thank you for sharing your experience❤️

Just starting taking it today and was doing some research. So glad I came across your video.. it gives me hope. I don't want to be on drugs forever but this one is really helping just 8 hours on it! Hope it serves me well until I can operate on my own. Thanks for opening up and sharing your experience.

Thank you for sharing

Thank's! Useful video.

I start my prescription today .. looking foward to change . But i also kno i gotta change my lifestyle & habits . Wish me luck

Glad I found your videos. Thanks for the information. I just started Buprophin today. I suffer from adult ADHD and I believe much of it is due to lifetime hormonal imbalance. I started Menopause Hormone Replacement therapy 5 months ago but still find when I start experiencing PMDD symptoms still yet, my anxiety and depression come back full force. I'm hoping it works for me to even be allowed to focus and help me to complete some of the 30 projects I have going on. I agree with you that you can't just depend on the medication, but changing lifestyle habits that would work with the meds.🙏🙏🙏

Congratulations on your maridge, and welcome to the U.S. ☕️☕️

How long were you on Wellbutrin for?

Deep care? Nope, I'd rather off myself

I'm trying to figure out how to eat without seeds - but plant based

Looking good Connor, i'ts nice to see hapinesss like that in your home, so happy for you guys.❤

And yah the drug path doesnt help at all makes you way worse

Anyone get relief from low energy . Some anhedonia and dissociation?

Hey Brother... this is really helpful. I'm similar and not a fan of ssri tried them before and going through another rough patch last 18 months. Trying all the self care stuff , journaling, counciling, reflecting on crap life events, willpower, sleep but its such a battle. Finances and life / work falling apart despite trying hard. I didnt want to admit failure and need a pharma solution.. but research has landed on wellbutrin. So gonna see if can give it a go.. see if it helps. Cheers for the rec on the mens groups too. I've followed your channel. This video has been really empowering that it's also okay to talk about this stuff too. Cheers !

I really pray that this works for me too. I have been taking for almost a month now and I still can't tell whether this is working for me or not but I certainly still have the insomnia you speak of. It is so bad that I have to use zzzquil in order to sleep because without it, I don't sleep for more than 4 hours. It has been challenging for sure.

i have to stop taking it, its making me massively aggressive.

Good info

Beautiful video❤

Omg I took Wellbutrin and it knocked me out! Has anyone ever experienced that?

Thanks so much opinion matters 🙏

Thanks for sharing Conor, I can definitely relate to the depression after dealing with it for years

Today I took 50 milligram dosage and I feel laser sharp focus.i haven't craved sugar and so much food.i had high blood pressure and some stress but overall i feel good
