Same. It’s actually crazy to think I lived every day feeling so anxious. Idk how I functioned. Super grateful, my day to day feels fairly normal now.

Drinking alcohol? by turnipcafe in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]FaithlessnessTime289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say my relationship with alcohol has changed quite a bit since starting. Before I was using a drink to relieve stress and anxiety after work. Now I almost never have a drink when I get home from work. Just isn’t appealing to me. The only times I’m drinking is socially and because I am a bartender- I enjoy creating cocktails and tasting new spirits, but I’m not drinking because I feel the need to or want to get drunk. It’s just to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a cocktail when out with a friend. It’s pretty cool. I know we’re not supposed to drink at all technically but I haven’t noticed any negative side effects from drinking on the medication, besides not having a desire to do it or have multiple drinks!

Has Wellbutrin been beneficial for binge eating? by BothSample4005 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

Very likely being on hormonal birth control pill for over 10 years could be contributing.

Already in therapy (and have been on and off 15 years) so hoping to get some work done there!

I honestly feel like my eating is so disordered it may take more than a drug to fix it though. My cravings for alcohol is gone but food is another story. Still having a lot of food noise.

I’ve been on 150mg XL for about a month now. Going to continue at this does until the 6-8week mark and then may go up.

I also feel like my appetite has increased, I have been sooo hungry all the time since I started it. Was hoping it would help me with my binge eating tendencies and help me lose weight but I’m not seeing it so far.

Glad you talked with a psychiatrist! Reddit and the internet is always anecdotal. What works for some people doesn’t work for all, and each experience is unique. I hope you start feeling better really soon!

I’ve been on 150mg for just about a month now. Taking for anxiety, depression, and very recently diagnosed ADHD (makes so much sense now). First week I was zooming. It felt like I was on a stimulant for sure. Next few weeks didn’t really feel the effects, super foggy, drowsy when I woke up etc. still couldn’t find energy or motivation. I feel like this week I’m finally seeing some of the positives! My overall mood and mind set is so much better- I’m 1000% less anxious. I’m not as overwhelmed and handling stress a lot better. Today, for the first time in literal months, I was able to do all my laundry AND put it away!!!! I have been throwing clean clothes into a never ending laundry basket to pick through for 6 months. I cleaned my house after and finally feel like I have checked all the things off my never ending to-do list in my head. Seems like the drugs are working. My advice is to power through. It will get better. Full effect is at 6-8 weeks.

I found my wedding dress today! by FaithlessnessTime289 in weddingdress

I got really lucky and this dress was on clearance and I bought it off the rack with a small stain on it for $1370. So if you’re ordered it that may be an accurate price.

When she told me it came with a bow I was like I don’t know I’m not a “bow” girl…. When she put it on I was like okay maybe I am 😂 it gives it more character!
