So I am taking these two drugs together. Wellbutrin is 300mg a day and the rameron is 22 1/2 mg a day at bedtime.
I know this sounds weird but I think I am kind of addicted to the wellbutrin. It's like I have to have it. I get very anxious without it.
It has helped me lose weight and I've lost so much I am a few pounds under my ideal weight but the wellbutrin does more then just the weight loss. I feel I control while taking it. What I mean is ok I used to drink 8-9 cans of soda a day. I tell myself soda is bad I don't need it. So I can go without it. I was admitted to the hospital and didn't have my wellbutrin for 7 days...I went outside of the hospital and went to the gas station across the street and bought a soda.

The first thing I did when I got home was take a wellbutrin.
I just feel better. I like the rameron because I can fall asleep better.

Is it really possible to be addicted to an anti-depressant?

Not sure what addictive qualities have. Your pharmacist or prescribing doc could probably tell you.

I don't think they have any. All I know is I feel I have to have them. It could be a mind thing who knows.

wellbutrin acts on the same receptors as cocaine does I think, I am not sure the affinities for the 5-ht receptors, remeron from my experience made me feel like i wanted more because the dreams were so awesome because i felt like it plunged me into the sub-id in my rem cycle.

All I know is Wellbutrin made my anxiety worse and a former PDoc was horrified I'd been on it when I had a history of panic attacks
