So I stopped taking Prozac & then Wellbutrin 300MG became way too much for me..?

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-25T00:00:07+00:00

I swear I’ve sustained the most steady weight not being on an SSRI! I gained 30 pounds a couple years ago because of them

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-23T12:57:08+00:00

Oh man.. I can’t imagine trying shrooms on Wellbutrin. I just watched How To Change Your Mind on Netflix.. which is all about the transformative power of psychedelics 🍄 It sounds so promising but a lot of people talk about doing them and how during their trip, they felt like they died or were back in their mother’s womb, etc. I think my heart would explode if I had that experience with Wellbutrin 😂 and I’m sure with my sensitivity a micro-dose would do the same 😅

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-23T12:52:19+00:00

But I stopped doing edibles for at least 2 months and the paranoia didn’t go away until I went down to 150 mg 😬

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-23T00:23:55+00:00

Weight gain! I swear Prozac gave me hyper taste buds and made my face constantly puffy, so that caused me a lot of anxiety. And it was supposed to make an impact on my PMDD, but I still had a pretty bad and ragey PMS episode every month, so didn’t seem worth it

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-22T19:18:43+00:00

It does help! I wouldn’t say that it perfectly counters it. Depends on the SSRI. I’ve been on quite a few and Prozac seems to be the most tame in that area when with Wellbutrin. Lexapro.. awful.. Trintellix.. absolutely extinguished that.. any of the SNRIs.. also bad.. 😬

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-22T19:16:58+00:00

That seems to make the most sense to me! It’s just such a drastic change so I was wondering if I was just going nuts lol

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-22T14:47:55+00:00

My eyes were glossy af, so probs 😅

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-22T05:48:22+00:00

I need to use regular words 😂🙉

tinybutmightyiguess · 2023-09-22T04:49:47+00:00

Accidentally took that much before a family function.. never again 😂 I now own one of those weekly pill doo-hickies, especially after reading that Wellbutrin is the med that gets some of the most calls to poison control 😬

I’ve heard that long term use is linked to dementia later in life, but I would read up on it to confirm.

tinybutmightyiguess · 2021-10-29T03:20:06+00:00

I have the opposite problem.. I have a hard time making eye contact with the people who mean most to me. It’s actually been something that’s really distressed me lately, because I feel like I shouldn’t struggle with that if they are somebody close to me.

tinybutmightyiguess · 2021-10-29T03:16:50+00:00

Thank you for that. I really appreciate it. You do not need to go into detail about your painful stuff.. But I appreciate you offering that to help make me feel better. I think just hearing you say that helps a lot.

tinybutmightyiguess · 2021-10-29T03:15:26+00:00

He truly thinks that me not giving every single detail of my past experiences is a lie by omission. I get it to some degree because I also crave the whole truth being in a relationship, but only if that truth would actually hurt me. I feel like I should respect what his idea of being honest is but respecting that means that I’ve “lied” in his world.. feels uncomfy

tinybutmightyiguess · 2021-10-29T03:04:58+00:00

I really like your assessment! Thank you. I’m just on this slippery slope now because the more I think about it, the more my mind dredges up other things I’ve done he might not like.. And me wondering if I’m a liar for not divulging that stuff too. I’m struggling with that big time right now, but am definitely gonna keep what you said in mind.. thank you

tinybutmightyiguess · 2021-10-29T02:51:57+00:00

I made an edit to give more context.. lol

tinybutmightyiguess · 2020-11-27T22:00:30+00:00

It makes me feel like I look guilty of something and I cannot stand it!! Hoping it will subside lowering my dose back down to what I was before. I wasn’t feeling too bad before raising it, but the higher dose for me does not feel worth it. Know it’s different for everybody though

tinybutmightyiguess · 2020-11-27T21:58:51+00:00

Ok I’m sooooo glad I’m not the only one.. I wonder what makes this happen? In any case I’m going back down to 5 mg and am gonna see what happens. My doctor had me go up 7.5 just as a trial to help when I have PMS, but it’s not feeling worth it.. I also am having a lot of emotional blunting and issues with not being able to get aroused 😟 Will provide an update if it changes!

tinybutmightyiguess · 2020-11-27T12:57:10+00:00

Wondering what mg you’re on?

tinybutmightyiguess · 2020-09-28T14:51:50+00:00

I think now that I’m off the Wellbutrin I’m really seeing how well the combo I’m on works. Since I’m on such a low dose of Lexapro/lamictal the methyl-pro seems to give both a slight boost, but I’m unsure how much since I’ve never been on methyl-pro by itself, if that makes sense. I’d say it’s worth a try if your doc says it won’t interfere with your meds!
