Started to take his about four days ago. Not by doc recommend but at wits end because so depressed. Had some from previous attempt which i stopped due to suicidality . Oh my. this morning. No need for sleep my friends. this is the best stuff ever!!!. Wow I feel like i am having sex with God. I need more that's for sure. This is amazing I feel like my breath is taken away and that the universe is breathing everything into em. I cannot describe what a relief it is to feel such immense love. I would sacrifice my blood and all for this . I have to make sure I have some to carry me through. The world seems like an entirely different place. I have the answers to all. . xxx

Wow, I'm glad the medicine is working for you! I just hope there is no "comedown" from your apparent euphoria. I was on wellbutrin but did not feel any of these feelings, frankly, I'm jealous haha.

[bumble2u]

Yeah, I know : climb high and fall hard. Wish I could fly forever, the thought of where I was makes me so scared. Kind of worried they won't let me continue if it feels like this, like a race track, like I have to be the first to the finish line. I wonder at the finish line, is it then you get to rest? Because usually it means just go around that track again. Kinda tired of this shite.

You sound manic to me. Wellbutrin did that to me as well, only I didn't have the euphoria, just turned into a raging, psychotic B!+$#. Hopefully you'll settle down a bit without falling back into the depression. Good luck.

I wonder if this is going to end badly because that med will not keep you going in the state you are in now. The crash could be long and hard. I take it, but feel nothing like you are, ever.

[angelene]

I'm on Wellbutrin XL 300mg and it is definitely helping out. It hasn't made me euphoric — it would be awesome if it did! I'm jealous, too!

[Welder]

I'm with tipper. I have BP & BPD and I take a 150mg of Wellbrutrin daily and feel nothing like you never have. I think you have BP and this anti depression has thrown you hard into mania, real hard from the way you sound. Please be careful, from the way you sound this could end badly for you. I'm on Wellbrutrin but I'm also on a mood stabilizer, Lamictil. My question for you is if your doc didn't recommend it or prescribe it, how did you get it?

[Mountainbard]

That's a pretty amazing experience, bumble2u. I take Wellbutrin, and have for about 9 months now. It really helped with my depression, and helped me quit smoking, but it hasn't caused any of the euphoric state you're describing.

[Welder]

Sorry just reread your post as how you got it, but your taking it without your doc's recommendtion then that's not good. Does your doc know you stopped taking it in the 1st place and did he prescribe you something else instead? Sounds like your playing with fire as far as your meds go.

I agree with you, Op stated her meds and while I am not a doctor/pharmacist, with the amount of Lithium in her system I am very concerned with the effects on her liver.
Lithium750mg /Seroquel 400mg/ Synthoid 25mg and now wellbutrin
Definitely be open and honest with your Dr.
When people go on and off meds and or combine them with something new it is unsafe and could result in death.
Euphoria = a bad combination or side effect and should be reported to Dr. and the manufacturer of said medication.

I am trying to quit smoking. I have tried on my own, didn't work.
Went to dr. and started the patch on 2nd try and had muscle movements.
I tried the inhaler which worked but still struggled. I started to have gum weakness and tongue felt funny. The same with those loungers, the point is I told my doctor and she hasn't given up on me. I have nerve damage and I really need to quit. Setting up group therapy or a true coach-line, if that fails I will commit myself in patient until those nicotine receptors have been annihilated. I don't drink or do recreational drugs, eat healthy, exercise as i can. But this smoking has to stop. I have a grandson 10 days old.
Medication is not for making yourself numb, it should imo, be used in conjunction with cognitive/behavioral/ therapies.

I took 150mg a few years back and also loved it. I did have euphoria and felt very focused. I was sad my pdoc here didn't give it back to me. I do have a high propensity for mania though. Glad to hear your feeling better, but be careful!

You might just be having a manic episode. A new antidepressant takes 3-6 weeks to kick in.

I just had 3 months and 4 days of rage. I was on Wellbutrin for 3 months. 4 days after the prescription ran out my rage vanished. I'm not normally an angry person and the things that happened in that time will humiliate and shame me forever. I feel ruined. Doctors shouldn't prescribe mind altering drugs and then pay no attention to what it does to you. When my gp didn't like what it did to me he abandoned me. Never told me to get off it, I just did that because I couldn't get refills. Pdoc quit just after she prescribed it and there was no replacement so I was on my own and no one paid any attention to what was happening to me, and I couldn't see the change in my personality was from the drug. I just thought I had become a bad person. My life will never be the same as before I took wellbutrin. I'm more isolated now and trust no one, an important relationship in ruins, no longer have any healthcare nor do I want it anymore. Done. These people don't know what they are doing and I am much the worse for wear with their careless treatment.
So be careful with the wellbutrin. Lots of people have bad reactions. At least yours sounds sort of fun, but for how long?

[kmptrgeek]

Been on it for over 2 years. I thought it had stopped working until my pdoc chopped it in half and within 2 days I dropped down to such a dark depression I couldn't get far enough under the covers. Almost put me back in the hospital.

I'm back up to 400mg XL and it works great.

Thank you to all who posted. It has been awhile since I could get back. My psych has reluctantly perscribed me two more weeks of wellbutrin. Luckily when I saw him I had my speediness under control. I think I am ok on it though it is really helping me to get things done. I can control most of it, although i seem to have lost control of my drinking once again. It just stop the debilitating slowness and tiredness. I didn't tell him that I saw a few things that I know would be classed as not ok. A little problem with hearing underlying chatter and noises. constantly trying to figure out where the noises are coming from. I just have to get through Sunday. Big Messiah concert. "Alleluiah" well that's what they say when the cheese platter is introduced. I feel suspended. which is ok apart from the explosive temper this morning. Oh my, peoples, how are we to get through all this I just don't know. But you know happiedasiy if it does result in the final curtain I think I'm actually ok with that. As long as all obligations are dealt with perfectly.

Oh crap I just revisited my original post. Does sound a little excessive although correct. but should see the snow people a slender form of those guys that dress up in kitchen towels. Bounty? Sponge bobs? a no that's a cartoon. anyway may be it is just because I can see the connection to it all.

Bumble, I am having trouble understanding your post. You seem very energetic and a bit scattered, as though you are making connections that some of us might not be able to. You could be having a manic episode, and Wellbutrin might just make it worse. I know this because four years ago I was mistakenly diagnosed with depression (and not BP) and put on Wellbutrin.

I hope you talk to your pdoc honestly and accurately describe, to the best of your ability, exactly what is going on. Good luck.

oh , i guess so . so much to do . just dont know how to go.
