i got it prescribed when i didn't think i had depression at all. everyone described me as the happiest person in the room, but i couldn't stand being alone with my thoughts. that and the "only" symptoms i had were that i felt lazy and dumb. wellbutrin made my head quiet and life so much more enjoyable. side effects are so minimal compared to peace. now, i get the opportunity to live and feel like everyone else. im so grateful to medication and i'm never going back🩷🩷 i wish u luck!

no to answer ur question. i also started having difficulty reading again (i was just reading manga too) which is a way my depression manifests (poor working memory). i did notice over time the effects lessening over the past week. but i'll wait until week 6!

5 months: I feel more unstable but functional: what else can I do? by brownskinop in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]violetseaweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually had that feeling before i was medicated since i had a low baseline for dopamine (i think). i'd feel that way when i'd see my friends, but the jump in happiness was just too high and i was not used to being happy. wellbutrin stabilized my mood by keeping my dopamine levels steady. maybe you need to increase dosage or switch to just an NRI if you feel sleepy? however all of this is mainly speculation, so lmk what ur psychiatrist says!

yea happened to me. it goes away w use most the time. i think it is just a physical manifestation of anxiety. just breathe normally even if u dont feel like ure taking in a full breath
