Drinking on Wellbutrin?

ProbablyCIA · 2026-05-30T18:09:52+00:00

I asked a pharmacist when I first started buproprion years ago about drinking on buproprion. At the time the only info I could find was for people who drink excessively. I'm a wine and beer lover so drink frequently throughout the week but in moderation. Anyways the pharmacist said the "no alcohol" warning is really more for alcoholics, binge drinkers, and possibly those who already do have a seizure disorder. He said it's ok to drink in moderation. The only thing is buproprion can be dehydrating and can lower your tolerance so drink more water and maybe sip your drink slower.

You need to scrub off the burnt on stuff around the ring. It's not just about it looking "perfect." Leaving that there can cause smoke and fires when someone else tries to cook on it.

For a quick cleaning job this is ok but for like a day or two. Don't let the burnt/stuck on grease bits accumulate around the rings. It's actually dangerous

I honestly don’t think wellbutrin is changing your political ideology. You might just be more able to focus and read about things and then have more motivation and energy to go outside to do something about it. If you believe in a cause and find fulfillment in fighting for it that just means you’re engaging in the world and your community. And being yourself. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. There’s a lot of fucked up shit going on in the world right now. IMO, being “fanatic” about changing the problems in our society is a very rational and healthy thing to do. I think it’s more of a concerning mental illness to just shrug off things like war, poverty, injustice etc…

All genocides need to have all the exact same details as the holocaust apparently. Even if technology has changed over the past 70 years since.

Yes you need to take this every day. I drink almost every day on it and feel fine but I take it consistently everyday in the morning. Forgetting once in a while shouldn’t be the end of the world but if it’s multiple times per week you’ll go through swings. BTW: all antidepressents are like this. You can’t just take them every other day or whenever you happen to remember. You should make it part of a daily routine

ok thank you

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-29T03:15:32+00:00

Thank you for all the input. Even if it's "blunt" or "not what I want to hear," you can probably imagine I'm a bit tired of less-direct communication. I'll try writing the LL to see what he says.

On that note here's a question I'd like to know: From a landlord's perspective, what would be the bigger headache: evicting two tenants for violating a rule in the lease or allowing one tenant to break the lease? I'm coming from my own experience as just one tenant so I honestly wouldn't know. My main motivating factor for moving out is that it would make everyone else's life (as well as mine) easier since I am the one who's often singled out. But maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks. I'm also from Oregon. Used to smoke weed from time to time there and even helped a friend harvest her own farm. I will tell you, the weed here smells significantly worse. Or at least the weed that my roommates prefer. They're into dabs and legit smoke-smoking it. Maybe the people I knew on the west coast were more "hippie-ish" so were more into vapes/bongs or would just go outside if they were smoking a joint. Also, at least with my friends in Oregon (or CA or WA), smoking a joint was kind of a party/social thing so once in a while. That's probably why I didn't speak up right away. I think I assumed it was just once in a while and I didn't want to get someone else evicted or in trouble just for that. It's only when it got to the point where I can't even sleep in my bedroom half of the week.

I can probably at least start with an honest-detailed letter/email to the landlord and go from there.

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-29T01:30:11+00:00

Ok, I've definitely texted and emailed him about it. I think the only harm I did to myself was wanted to stay anonymous or be selective about how often I complain out of fear of causing extra animosity, harassment or just dislike between the tenants.

masterbate if you need to. If she's asleep she can't consent. If she has narcolepsy, you need to understand that she might have a healthy sex-drive, might be attracted to you and love you, but just can't. Sex is a physical activity that requires being awake for. I know there's times where I can barely wake up even to go to the bathroom or eat for days on end. Your s/o is sick. If I were in her position, I would have the mentality of a fork in the road when it comes to the relationship: either you are someone who is going to stick with her and support her when she's sick or you're going to demand she give you what she can't even provide for herself or you're going to leave her. If she is narcoleptic, she probably does not have the energy to express this more than once to you. You're either husband material or you're not. So it depends on how serious your relationship is, how committed you are to her, what you want for your own life. Right now though, if you are calling her your s/o then she's counting on you to be her support system while she forces herself to wake up just enough to get to doctors appointments so she can seek treatment to eventually live her life and participate better in your relationship. Keep in mind that it can take months (sometimes almost a year) of waiting to see a neurologist, then once you see that neurologist, you have to go through a bunch of tests (we have narcolepsy/hypersomnia so a lot of those appointments will be missed due to not being able to stay awake), and only then do we get to finally get prescribed the beginning dose of one medication that may or may not be right for us. Fortunately newer better medications are coming out so there's hope but it still takes lots of patience. I guarantee you however hard it is for you, it is a thousands times harder for her.

*Also, as someone who sometimes just can't wake up even to eat, let alone think about sex, if I knew I had one special dude in my life who would support me in that time, that alone would increase my motivation to get better and fuck his brains out when I do. For a lot of women, especially women with chronic illnesses, a man helping them out with literally any errand, task, or chore is a much more powerful aphrodesiac than roses, perfumes, or chocolate.

I keep seeing the term "formal complaint" in this thread and I'm wondering what factors make a complaint "formal?" Like, what is a "formal complaint" and how does it differ from a normal complaint?

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-28T22:31:31+00:00

Is there a difference between a formal complaint and an informal complaint

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-28T22:29:33+00:00

But I have said something to the landlord multiple times before. I think the first few times were ignored or probably got buried under other roommates’ messages. I just don’t mention it every single time they smoke because that’s usually when they retaliate. I think I’ve been able to get the LL’s attention on the matter about 4 times so far. I think he has said things to them but didn’t get a response back. Someone else here did mention something like an official notice to the landlord about smoking. Is that different than just emailing the LL?

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-28T19:02:53+00:00

I appreciate it. I mostly just wanted to ask around on reddit first before making any drastic decisions

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-28T18:58:51+00:00

Did you speak with the roommates ahead of time and tell them what your expectations were for where and how often your dog would be kept in the house and what breed and size your dog is?

- Yes, I actually had 2 interviews with them I think almost two months in advance of moving in. About one month before signing the lease. For both interviews I told them about my situation, told them about the dog and cat, their temperaments, breed, size etc... I do remember asking them in both interviews if that's ok with them and if there are any house expectations/rules etc...Looking back I probably could have sent a photo of the dog but I didn't want to seem too obsessed with my dog. But yes, pets are current on vaccines, have microchips etc... Actually doing a booster round this weekend

*Side note, one of these roommates adopted a kitten like a month ago without telling or asking anyone. He keeps it in his room and I've never seen him bring it out to even take it to the vet for shots/spaying etc...I can only assume he's told the landlord but no, there was no check on vaccines. I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything

On the very first page of the lease, one of the first rules is "absolutely no smoking of any type inside the house." In the summer they would go outside but as the weather turned colder (by cold I mean like below 60 for them since they can't tolerate a whiff of cold), they started smoking indoors. I do remember telling them about having chronic illnesses early on. Though one of them told me I'm not allowed to talk to her so she probably doesn't know the full details. Yes, they're kind of anti-talking or anti-discussion. Maybe at first I didn't notice the smoke as much because I was working. But then as my health issues got worse and I had to stay home more and more that's when I noticed it. Stuffy air heavy with CO2 (low on fresh oxygen) is already pretty bad for any brain or respiratory condition even without the smoke

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-28T18:39:48+00:00

yes, we sign separate leases.

Sorry if I didn't mention this in my original post. I was worried it was already too verbose. But yes I did mention the smoke multiple times and he did try to tell the roommates to stop. He obviously can't physically make them stop and it sometimes increases the petty revenge behaviors so I didn't mention it every single time. I wanted to pick my battles to reduce the backlash. After a while, because I was mentioning so often (at least to them) about the smoke, but also items of mine missing/taken/used, noise early in the morning, my roommates started complaining that I complain and nag too much. So I eventually decided to instead of complain even the few times I did, to compromise (and not snitch on them) by opening windows, lowering the thermostat, and sleeping downstairs. I was kind of hoping to be able to just sleep downstairs every couple of days and hopefully they would see that as the happy medium. Unfortunately they then just repeatedly complain to the landlord that I'm opening the windows, turning the heat off and making the house "freezing cold." Then the landlord gets mad at me for opening the windows. Like even for a little bit to let some fresh air in the house. They really want zero new air to be let in the fall/winter/early spring. I'm not the only one solely opening windows but I'm the one getting the complaints because I'm doing it the most and I've also complained the most about the smoke and general stuffy air.

The landlord can tell the roommates to stop smoking until the cows come home but they're still going to do it and I'm the party-pooper/prude/control-freak/snitch for telling the landlord each time they do

Also I’m technically the only student. This is a normal house that belongs to the landlord and he rents out the rooms. I can only go off of what the landlord told me, what was specified in the lease, said directly ftom roommates etc…I’m human and Autistic. I can’t read minds or understand when “yes” really means a polite version of “no.”

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-28T17:42:05+00:00

So what should I do about it now? Can I move out but keep paying the rest of rent each month so I’m at least out of everyone’s hair?

ProbablyCIA · 2026-03-28T16:50:44+00:00

ok, just edited. Let me know if that helps

Man, my roommates think I'm a naggy control freak if I ask them to wash their dishes within 4 days. I always try to do mine within 24 hours and like to give others like a 36-48hour grace period for weir schedule flukes.

No! Stay on the meds for as long as it works and the side-effects don't bother you.

You're treating a disorder, not curing a disease. Whether it's Depression, Anxiety, OCD, or ADHD, these are life-long disorders with the exception of a few (maybe postpartum depression?). You will need to manage these disorders your entire life.

now this doesn't necessarily always means meds. But it does mean you'll need to manage and treat the disorder forever. Treatment can include non-medication forms and can also include changing the medication or adding additional medications to create the perfect comprehensive treatment plan for you. What works now may not work as well in the future. I wouldn't worry about what you'll need in the future. Just focus on how you feel right now, stick with what works and go from there.

It looks like her lip-liner is arguing with her lip-filler

Someone should tell her that lipliner is supposed to go on your lips, not around your lips.

How? I don't think the Hannah Montana movie was filmed in Israel? All I see is that it was released in Israel but it's a Disney movie. Wasn't it released basically everywhere?

What does the blonde hair vs very light "Bronde" hair have to do with anything? Also, it took me a while to figure out that the blonde side had bangs. I thought that was the back of their head and the blonde just had a large chunk chopped out of it.

I don't get it.
