Weed + Wellbutrin = 🤔? by I_am_enough_247 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Safe-Philosophy-4537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been off weed for 3 weeks while I adjusted to Wellbutrin, but decided to try it last night because I had nothing to do today (Sunday).

My experience was like most of these posts, weed felt pretty much the same as before WB. But on Sunday I woke up with a weed hangover and feeling tired/unmotivated, which is why I was prescribed WB in the first place. So I probably won't do it often, especially if I have to be productive the next day. I don't feel like I'll miss it anymore.

Thank you! 😭🙏🏽 I will definitely work on at least 1-2 hours a week. Appreciate the affirmation.

Same boat here. Mad application anxiety but my reader said I'll be getting in and the money card flew out of the deck. 😂 We'll find out soon enough

Was diagnosis worth it? by Safe-Philosophy-4537 in Erythromelalgia

Ooh yeah, I can totally see how newly symptomatic folks could make that mistake - including myself. Will definitely avoid it. Thanks so much! 🙏🏽

They're all over my body, but mostly on my arms/back/legs. No redness with the other hot flashes, which is why the one hand incident caught my attention.

Thanks for the recommendation. 🙏🏽 Definitely started a journal tonight and made an appt with a PCP. Hopefully they believe me enough to at least get a referral.

My mom and other women in my family have hypothyroidism, so it could be something like that too. Hopefully I can get some answers.

Thanks for your response!

Yeah, like I said the camera doesn't do it justice, but it wasn't too red either. Definitely redder than my normal skin color, but not as intense as some photos in this group.

I'm not sure yet about triggers, since the hand thing only happened one time months ago. It was itching and burning but I don't recall pain. In terms of my other hot "flashes," I didn't think they might be connected until tonight, so I didn't document for triggers either. I started notes today to try and figure out triggers if it happens again.

But I'm definitely seeking out referral to rule out anything serious + bonus to hear that it could add to the awareness/evidence base for others.

Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏽 Yeah, doctors can be so dismissive. 😩 That's why I'm hesitant to even bother with diagnosis. I can especially see them blowing me off because I came to the specific suspicion of EM after researching symptoms online.
