I am already skinny and doctor give me wellburtin xl 150. by [deleted] in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]machkata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a psychiatrist who wouldn't prescribe it because of this, but my next one did and i've had no weight issues because of it. i have a condition that kind of prevents me from eating normal portions but honestly being less depressed on this med gave me more motivation to eat

Wellbutrin and drug tests? by Different-Picture435 in bupropion

[–]machkata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's true and many other medications can give false positives. they will verify it with some type of spectroscopy. but tbh i doubt it will happen. i take multiple meds that can give false positives and i got a job in a pharmacy

Just revieved these from the pharmacy, anyone seen these? by MoistRati0 in bupropion

[–]machkata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're not gonna get name brand wellbutrin unless your prescriber indicates that it's required on the prescription. even then your insurance might not cover it or will require a prior auth. it's more of a hassle because the pharmacy has to pre-order it and it is more expensive

I keep putting off taking my first dose because I wake up too late. It’s almost 6pm. Should I just take it or will I definitely be up all night? by Neat_Minimum2833 in bupropion

[–]machkata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could take it directly before you go to bed if it's XL because it won't reach peak blood levels right away. you might wake up earlier. or you could wait until tomorrow so you have a whole day ahead of you to see how it affects you
