Help Would 20g of Wellbutrin kill me or ruin my body/brain?

No SN except for TIG which seems to be not pure enough

You'd probably have seizures. Large doses of Wellbutrin can do that.

I know but would I die from it?

Depends on your body weight. I believe the LD50 of bupropion/wellbutrin is 230mg/kg and OD's >9g result in serious toxicities, which could be fatal. However, I've also read that an OD on bupropion, like with many antidepressants, are rarely fatal on their own.

This study should give you some info regarding the potential for brain damage. https://www.e-jnc.org/upload/pdf/jnc-200021.pdf

With the size of your dose, it would be difficult to predict whether you would die or not as there aren't many case studies.

Another study with a fatal overdose of a similar amount (28g) https://amjcaserep.com/abstract/full/idArt/931783

Hope this helps & wish you peace.

This.

You're far more likely to have a range of painful side effects from excess dopamine, including seizures and potential brain damage. Seizures are usually only lethal if they also induce cardiac responses (e.g., seizure-induced stroke) in people already vulnerable due to cardiovascular disease.

Otherwise you will probably just mash up your head & injure your body painfully from tonic clonic jerks. Likewise, prior to the seizure you will vomit, have cold/hot flashes, considerable vertigo & dizziness, severe headaches, potential hallucinations, abdominal and potential nerve pain, anxiety/panic from over-activation of the sympathetic nervous system, tremors leading into convulsive shakes, profuse sweating, cardiac arrhythmia and tachycardia, and more.

Drug-induced poisonings (with the exception of SN, N, or a few others) are about 1.5% successful and this is an aggregate statistic that includes more reliable drugs, so the specific lethality for wellbutrin is probably significantly lower than this.

You're highly unlikely to die, highly likely to be in severe pain, and highly likely to injure yourself permanently. I don't recommend this method.

If the LD50 is 16g for me, it seems as if I would be fairly likely to die if I waited another month to get 29g?

I'm curious how you're measuring "likelihood" here, but you can do as you wish. I hope it works out for you

A single case study is not a reliable metric
