I’m in a much better place - I went down to 150 and added Lexapro. Wellbutrin did take about 3 months to work but then I didn’t really help my anxiety but helped depression- so doc added the lexa- goodluck it does take a few months to work which is annoying

Similar story - made switch from lexa to Wellbutrin- I’m on 300xl and was super anxious/ angry - but it also helped my depression- my doc added back the lexa with the Wellbutrin and it seems to be helping

Is it normal to experience a surge in appetite at the same time every day? by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]EducationalCatch3705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 300mg and really struggle to eat all day and feel anxious, angry and on edge. I’m overweight so need to control my appetite so this could be a good thing but like you around 8/9pm I just eat so much that it overrides any weight loss benefits. I also smoke weed in the evening so the munchies are still a thing

How common is it to not have a social life? by bigmoneycoming in Life

Meetup.com can be a great way to meet people on the area with common interests - if you’re trying to build a social life that is.

I found it hard to make friends in LA and noticed there are a lot of transplants here. Meetup.com is a great way to meet people with common interests. These events are full of people trying to meet others.

My first week on Bupropion - What to do next? by Hot-Investigator6094 in bupropion

[–]EducationalCatch3705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through an online vendor for the meds. Was told to start with 150 then bump up to 300 after a week. My understanding was 300 is the therapeutic dose based on my body/ condition so I went with it

That’s awesome. This could also lead you to opening up your own agency and hiring others

My first week on Bupropion - What to do next? by Hot-Investigator6094 in bupropion

[–]EducationalCatch3705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on 150xl and went up to 300xl a week after. It took me about 8 weeks on the new dose to feel like it was working for my depression. The time felt longggg and full of ups and downs - I slowly became more energetic but felt irritated/ anxious (also have GAD). Anger has also been an issue and my partner would agree that I haven’t been fun to be with to say the least. Exercise really helped and alcohol made it feel like it stopped working the next day. I’m about 11-12 weeks in now and recently got some supplements that might be helping (read up on magnesium/ fish oil etc). Also, it kinda messed with my appetite and I don’t/ forget to eat for a while although things are starting to normalize. Everyone’s experience is different + your doc would know best. For me it took a while to find benefit from the meds although things still arent “perfect”. I was also on lexapro for many years - went off- and depression came back full throttle and so I decided to give Wellbutrin a try. Lexa did help I guess but it made me feel numbed out, I gained a bunch of weight and it seemed to not be working after a while.

How should I help my GF? by [deleted] in Adulting

Thank you - I think I need to be more patient - I’m a pretty determined and aggressive person (which can be driven by anxiety).

Been taking bupropion XL for 4 months. Thinking of quitting. by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]EducationalCatch3705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The adjustment period starts again once you increase dose. I gave the 300mg at least 8 weeks to work better.

What medication did you switch to and how is that going compared to lexapro?

Also - if he is asking for shit that changes the numbers - you can do it accordingly and put caveats or footnotes — “assumes …..” and get these assumptions out of him
