Got diagnosed with major depression and I was given Wellbutrin Should I take the meds? I can barely get out of bed
wellbutrin is a pretty decent ndri and tends to have minimal side effects, especially the big ones like gaining a shitton of weight or making your brain feel like static. the only thing is that you aren't supposed to stop taking it abruptly, however i've done that numerous times with no negative issues. it isn't going to be some huge night and day difference in how you feel, it just makes being alive and doing things feel less soul-crushingly daunting so you're actually able to function if you so choose. it can also help you kick addictions, but only while you're on it. if you stop taking them or miss a couple doses, those cravings can come back. overall i'd say it's worth a shot to take them, and if you have any negative symptoms, just stop the meds and tell your doc. i hope things get better one way or another and that some of that weight is lifted from your shoulders. that shit sucks
>>83092574This will be your mental curve if you take meds.
Wellbutrin is not even an antidepressant really.It's a stimulant and works in similar ways to adhd meds. Quite literally it's an amphetamine subgroup.
>>83092649Thanks for heads up I'm failing school, got fired from my job recently and my mom hurls insults at me. Maybe meds might help me get on my feet >>83092658I've literally failed in life anon what do I do ? I've been holding off on meds >>83092670Are you sure?
>>83092679Yes I'm fucking sure it was banned in my country because it was equated with hard drugs. It's just a bit more subtle than true adhd meds, but it's just a slow release dopamine provider essentially. It can actually make you rather irritable which is opposite of what antidepressants do.
>>83092698So it's a stimulant lol but should I take it then ?
>>83092679My experience was Lexapro had little side effects but little main effects. I would suggest spending a month on it before deciding whether or not it is worth it. It was not worth it for me.
>>83092727Why r u still on here if u take meds? Does it not actually work
I took it beforeIts not fun and didnt feel goodI want a drug that makes me feel good
I took wellbutrin beforeI felt nothing is borring
>>83092930the point of medication isn't to make you feel good, that's what drugs are for. medicine is suppose to bring you to a baseline of functionality where enough weight of the disorder is lifted for you to be able to do the things that you need to do without being crushed. taking ibuprofen doesn't make you feel good, it relieves inflammation bringing you back to baseline
>Got diagnosed with symptomI diagnose you with having a lazy inept doctor
Hi, I've got depression and bupropion (welbutrin) too! Like anons say, its nothing like ssri. It won't change your feelings apart from making you more competitive and assertive. It will give you some energy though. It's like being on a cup of coffee forever. Very good drug. Much safer than other stimulants too because its slow acting.
yes take the medsand start doing the things you need to doTHAT will make you happiermeds just help lighten it enough so you do the thing
>>83093171Okay im hearing good stuff thx for advice anons >>83093461I use to get high off vapew and just goon how do I stop that from happening
>>83093479welll it's not surprising you're depressed and gooning and getting highit's a chicken and the egg thingthose things make you feel good even if you feel awfulbut also start to contribute to making you feel awfulbecause your brain simply has gotten addicted to certain patterns of receiving dopamineit's really tough but you have to start learning to get dopamine outside of drugs and pornlittle things like a conversation with a stranger can actually uplift your moodbut if you're in goon-mode... that shit feels like nails on a chalkboard because you just wanna get home and goon... stfu people don't talk to me!!!it's a vicious cycle that slowly traps you inside the walls of only getting pleasure from food, sex, and drugsIn order to get pleasure elsewhere, you have to create space for it first.Remove [X] replace with [Y]doesn't have to be all at once and doesn't have to be perfect every dayHopefully new meds start to make it a little easier to imagine starting the process.Like "I'm gonna only goon for an hour today, and do it at bed time so ill want to cum and go to sleep, and this is my new routine"Then you have to replace only some of the daytime gooning with basic stuff - just leave the room and get a glass of water, go outside for a few minutes and breathe fresh air, listen to birds, etc. If you're at "I can't get out of bed" depression, START SMALL. Baby steps to get out of the hole.
hey man just letting you know that if those meds start doing the following1. fucking you up mentally2. fucking you up physically (headaches, etc.)OR3. do nothing at allyou should be able to talk to your doc and get a new prescription for something else. pic unrelated.
>>83093606How long to wait to see if it does nothing
>>83093670i don't know. it's odd you weren't told what to expect.
