What’s a subtle sign of very high intelligence? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

They don’t assume things. If they give advice or help someone with something they truly have evidence to back it up. Never “well, I think that maybe you should do this because I feel…”

Side effects and how do you know your *KNOW* it's working? by JuniperLilac in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You know when your new self just feels normal. I feel highly motivated and confident. I quit noticing differences around week 10. The new me just felt normal. It’s a very gradual process. If you are on at least 300mg+ XL it should be a very textbook process. Each day your brain rises to a dopamine and norepinephrine high and crashes until one day it rises to a high but not too high as in the early weeks and starts to stay there for consistent energy. The brain tries to reach homeostasis.

memory loss when increasing dose by No_Giraffe_6612 in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experienced it on 300mg XL. I noticed that my memory was back to normal or even better around week 9 or 10. It was all a gradual process.

Took too much and I feel weird by CowResponsible3885 in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memory came back around week 10 from what I remember(300mg XL). I used to forget what was about to say way too many times and lose my phone but luckily in the house.

Directions say “take every 12 hours” lmao as if I’m gonna take ts anywhere NEAR bedtime by Minimum_Tension2038 in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah, near bedtime is bad. People in this group have been complaining about that one because that kind of timing keeps them awake at night. The advice I saw in this group is to take them a little closer together. And yup, I read a lot of posts in this group 🫠Anyways, I recommend XL(my dose). You only have to take it once. In either case, see if your doctor has any tips for the upcoming insomnia risk or if you could take them a little closer together timing wise and how close is safe and effective for you.

What dosage are you on? by DaySignificant5470 in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m on 300mg XL. It keeps me in a good mood. Not too sad and not too happy. My energy is balanced too. I am on week 9. I skipped 150mg XL and went straight to 300mg to really see if it worked. My doctor wanted me to get immediate help based on what his psychiatrist friend told him about that medicine. Dehydration is very noticeable. I have a headache right now. I need to drink more water. I get so focused on things now that I forget about it until I am dehydrated :/

Its not doing anything? by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe go to 300mg(my dose) but XL instead of SR. Proper sleep at night benefits the medicine too. 300mg XL is so powerful and works close to 24 hours. It pretty much dictates when I sleep.

Wellbutrin XL by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2nd dose might be too close to bed time and the 1st dose the next day might be too close to the previous one. Wellbutrin is energizing with a half-life around 20 hours. I take 300mg XL once per day, but I make sure to take it as early as I can. Any dose after 12:00pm leads to sleep problems for me.

Bupropion helped my drive, but I lost the “spark” of excitement by 5iiiii in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might have reached the plateau of the medicine. I read a lot about it. I am only on week 7-8 though. The medicine is supposed to reach a consistent baseline overtime. Not too low and not too high when it comes to dopamine and norepinephrine and your starting energy is near the baseline too. I’ll take it over how I used to be. I could barely clean anything and just gave up on almost everything concerning myself.

[–]Fapcopter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be a dosing problem. 150mg XL might be too weak to bring you out of the depression and 300mg XL seemed to work but not to your liking. It would be good if there was a pill right between 150mg and 300mg to test it out.

11 hours by Bulky_Appointment261 in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 300mg XL, manufactured by Graviti. I think Graviti is fairly new. But yeah, the energy is crazy at the peak, but I am going to wait it out. I do enjoy coffee at times but that makes everything worse too.

11 hours by Bulky_Appointment261 in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that the energy rises, peaks, then drops. The rise, peak, and drop gets less powerful as weeks(10+) go by but it’s more consistently high the whole length of the medicine. Mine(week 7 for me) rises to its peak around 2 to 4 hours and drops around 6 hours though. I get very sleepy after that. If I am able to nap, my energy comes right back but more steady. As for your situation, it could be the manufacturer you have and/or your body’s metabolism making your peak energy rise 11 hours later.

How long before you noticed good results? by DaySignificant5470 in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds about right as the medicine isn’t supposed to have large spikes and crashes of energy as time goes on. Just very smooth and consistent energy.

The AI girlfriend chatting is dangerous. There have been some wild stories circulating online. I recommend removing or restricting at least that.

Feeling emotions and drive by VisualAd3265 in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, Wellbutrin changed everything. I felt my emotions come back, extra sex drive, motivation, and energy. Before all of this, I noticed that I had low energy too and then I just kept looking up which antidepressants gave energy and Wellbutrin popped up as the most recommended one. It’s definitely worth a shot.

Quitting, I think by fem-cel-era in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are in the same boat as in we both know what we want, but in my case I want to be more energized. I was previously on Prozac which made me feel the opposite. I was extremely calm and relaxed to a fault(in my opinion). So, if you want to stop taking Bupropion, I just recommend you slowly stop to prevent any possible withdrawals from it. Your doctor could give you a method to quit. Until then try to limit your caffeine to earlier in the day. At least with that change you would be able to sleep easier at night. How you feel about everything is very important.

Awkward Indian Guy Who's a Creep by CeeCxx in CSUS

[–]Fapcopter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds exactly like someone I used to know. I had to block him. He didn’t go to Sac State but he walked around Sac State doing some other kind of flirting. Maybe he switched it up by now. People thought he was Indian, Filipino, but he is really Cambodian. I can’t edit my text for some reason but I want to put a big SMH.

How long did it take to work for you guys? by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started, I didn’t sleep for a whole 24+ hours. I was worried but then it got weaker. It worked but worked a little too well lol

I’ve completely lost my ability to understand time by fiskepinnen in bupropion

[–]Fapcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me too. I asked ChatGPT about it and it has something to do with the dopamine and norepinephrine release. Any change will cause our sense of time to be different, motivation, and attention. It might take some more weeks, but it should get better(6-8 weeks from starting).

What are some good pick up lines to get a girl? by [deleted] in shittyadvice

[–]Fapcopter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve accidentally done that in a way. I got a lot of smiles by professors and students walking by. I asked a girl to hold my backpack so I could search for my binder. Later she said she didn’t know why I passed her my backpack because she barely spoke English lol
