experiences with buproprion/wellbutrin?

[decadance]

i just started on 150mg about a week ago, too soon and too low of a dose to notice any changes yet

if you're on it, is it working well for you or no? what dose are you on?

I remember trying it. I dont recall the dose, but I had a terrible experience. The brain zaps hurt a lot. I dont know why but the second day that I was on it I woke up with intense brain zaps and it lasted for ~8 minutes. I never really gave it the chance to show any positives. I stopped taking right after that happened to me. I hope your experience turns out better.

My experience with Wellbutrin:

No real side effects, maybe a bit of a rushed anxiety feeling/dizziness the first few weeks.

Nothing crazy like SSRI/SNRIs though.

Positive effects:
A bit easier to get up in the morning.
Mood a bit more stable (less peaks and lows)

If you are able to use it to build a stable/sustainable routine while taking it, I think it can be a real useful tool.

Are you certain you are talking about Wellbutrin? The side effects you are describing sound specifically like the SSRI ones. The reason I got switched to Wellbutrin was the brain zaps.

Hmm it did helped but I had really bad migraines regurlarly. 2 in one week and theyll only go away if I fell asleep. I stopped taking it. So its just was a no for me.
