- Shortage of Wellbutrin made me go through withdrawal and then through some of the starting symptoms again. It was not fun.

Bupropion saved my life. I was able to quit smoking and alcohol completely. For the past two years, I have been in denial of my depression and finally went to a psychiatrist. I got into bad student loan debt and thanks to the medication, I have been able to turn my life around.
I don’t have any side effects at all and my job performance has improved drastically. My anxiety hasn’t really gone away though.
It’s really interesting to see others people’s experiences
I also want to quit smoking but when I stop this medication. I start smoking again. Please guide me
Nice dear .congrats dear
@@VisheshMahajanyou can do this. But You must meditate.
Thank you for doing this video. I had the opposite too many anti-depressants. I've been on Wellbutrin for many years, and I have all the same effects you're mentioning.
Hi Keita - thanks for sharing this. I had the exact same withdrawal symptoms you mentioned so it's reassuring to hear someone else had the same experience.
Sometimes all of us need a break - with or without medical help, thanks for sharing your experience ❤
I appreciate that she took the time and continued periodically to inform honestly.she is so encouraging.i love her mini forrest and kitties.i feel like she's a friend.like she would be awesome to just hang out with and bring truth, vulnerability and support.❤
Thank you for posting this. It’s very helpful.
Ugh, I’m sorry you went through that. Wellbutrin has changed my life for the better, medication shortage are scary. I don’t want to go back to the depressed me lol
This was the one drug that helped me. I was on so many things I don’t know what the withdrawal was from. I did a cleanse and had Wellbutrin shells coming out months after stopping which means it was leaching into me slowly. Felt great after flushing my system
Thank you for being so honest! I have had similar symptoms as you, your honeymoon discussion helped me prepare for mine. I was a little terror on one dosage, but with 2 dosages, everything has stabilized. This is my month 2, I've signed up for therapy since I realize the medicine itself won't fix everything. It has been hard admitting to myself I've been depressed for a while, your courage to share has helped me.
I just tapered off Wellbutrin because the side effects weee just killing me. I was so anxious I couldn’t leave my room and I felt like every time I moved my heart would pound. Now I’m having withdrawal and I feel exhausted, dizzy, and uncoordinated almost like im drunk
How are you now? Still exhausted?
👀👀
Same!
I've never felt that on it! It's wild how different people react to different substances
Thank you for sharing this, wishing you all the best
Thank you for sharing! You are doing great and I have
learned a lot. Next week I will start to take bupropion....
Very helpful video, thank you 🙏
Your videos have really helped a lot. I thought I was going crazy.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you, your videos really help :)
Thanks you for this.
Your videos are helpful.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
By the way, you are super pretty.
You are so pleasant to look at....
This is so relatable with my venflexian. Please be careful. yall❤❤ ain't a joke
Never never never stop a med cold turkey horrable side effects
I think the scary part about medication is our dependency on it. I don’t like feeling like I’m a slave to anything. My psychiatrist retired recently and I have to find a new doctor so I’ve been off certain medications for awhile. Luckily Wellbutrin doesn’t require a psychiatrist to get prescribed as it’s not a controlled substance.
hey sorry to hear
once I forgot to bring it where there were no pharmacies,6 days - it was tough I feel your pain
U can get it prescribed?
I can’t get anymore until I talk to a psychiatrist
Same thing happened in the states with Adderall. Interestingly I was switched to Ritalin and when THAT experienced a shortage…. I was prescribed Wellbutrin, which I’m positive is also due for a shortage due to so many people being switched.
Me too. I just switched to Wellbutrin due to the stimulant shortage. I actually got 2 bottles of Ritalin but they both did not work like they used to. So I made the switch
@@fickleemu4life401 The Adderall shortage in the US is exactly why I'm starting Wellbutrin tomorrow. Luckily, the withdrawal from adderall wasn't too bad, even after being on it for 7 years. It was just fatigue, some more depression, and worsening of ADHD symptoms. Not the end of the world, but I haven't been functioning at the level I'm used to...which is already impaired, even with meds, compared to the average person. I'm really hoping Wellbutrin will help.
@@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026 I’ve been adjusting to the Wellbutrin and it’s helpful but definitely not as strong as my Ritalin was. I started to feel it about 7 days in when I took 300 mg.
@@fickleemu4life401 That's the target dose for me, but my doctor is starting me on half a 75mg tablet, then two halves, then a whole and a halve, until at the end of the month I get to 150mg. She's very careful when starting new meds, so I'm titrating up. Might take a couple months to get to that dose.
@@fickleemu4life401 Since I've not been able to get Adderall for 3 months, I'm fine with ANY improvement, at this point.
I didn't realize wellbutrin had withdrawal symptoms. I was on it and stopped abruptly (because all it did was make me stay awake 48 hrs at a time). I didn't experience any withdrawal that I noticed. Sertraline had side effects of a sort of intermittent buzzing dizziness... but it actually made me feel good. Escitalopram just made me feel dizzy. Not euphoric like coming off sertraline.
I am currently suffering from the affects of withdrawal from Wellbutrin. It is hard to eat, I have a repulsion towards food, however, I like you know I have to eat. I am generally exhausted, I have a lack of motivation, and emptiness. I am on EDT time and waiting for the Alternative to Meds Center to open. I have a nurse practitioner that won’t return my calls. He weaned me off of Depokote (thank God) but added Amblify which is ludicrous. Wellbutrin increases dopamine & Ambilify decreases dopamine. This is not an unusual protocol for Western medicine because they have no knowledge of nutrition and supplements. I have no desire to increase Wellbutrin, I am waiting to get advice from Alternative to Meds on what dosage to take of trypotophen, tyrosine, magnesium and tyrosine. I personally believe that psychotropic drugs for me are neurotoxins. I regret the day I started any of them and there have been many that I’ve have been prescribed. To each his own. I will give you an update on the advice I’ve been given.
And .... Wellbutrin this years after covid
More expensive than it used to be around 70 US Dollars for 30 pill 💊
The most relevant form is SR witch can last 14 ..... Xl form 24 not available that much
Hey, do you have any social media you can be followed on? I don’t know if you post other things on Facebook or such. I’m glad you were able to get another supply of Wellbutrin. Stay strong ❤
Yeah, I have instagram @thecyankat but I don’t post as often as I would like to. Kinda have this love/hate relationship with social media x_x 😄
I was without my 300mg bupropion for 2 weeks. When I finally got my prescription I took the pill and I felt really bad. Anxiety and headaches were heightened. I stopped taking it altogether and now I’m experiencing really bad withdrawals. Should I take the 300mg dose again or do you think I should try a lower dose? I just want to stop the withdrawals. Never wanted to get off of bupropion in the first place. I can’t tell if I was experiencing normal side effects of starting again or not.
Well, it looks like you are going to feel some effects no matter what you decide. If you stop, you will have to go through withdrawal. If you continue, you will have to go through those starting side effects again. You said you did not want to get off of it, then it would be a good idea to continue taking it and just pull through the starting phase. And then make sure that you always get your prescription on time until you decide to get off of the meds, just remember that you have to wean off of it slowly. Then you can do it with very minimal or no withdrawals.
Dang did you call other pharmacies. Cute kitty
How long were you on it before this happened? I’ve only been on it a few weeks. I’m still not sure how I feel about it yet. It sucks that these meds do this. I’ve heard the withdrawals are a lot worse with SSRIs.
About half a year.
My ssri withdrawals were way easier tbh, just light headaches and that was it.
I take wellbutrin for 10 years and every time i try to stop I can’t because withdrawal side affect
Does anyone else lose there train of thought when talking to people. I’ve started to stumbling over my words I’ve recently started taking 300mg.??
Somehow Wellbutrin makes me feel further away from myself, if that makes sense. I just feel like things are less real. I get it how this might help people that are severely depressed but it makes me feel very unmotivated. I felt unmotivated before I was taking it as well but I feel like this medication is more of a band aid than a real solution.
There was an incident with someone allergic to nutts
In the whole city?? Country?
You look to me like you’re on top of everything,or maybe I’m wrong
is it like 2 150mg a day?
Yes, 2x150mg, but I take them both at the same time so my dose is 300mg.
Are you still on wellbutrin?
Yes
I always find it incredible that people can make videos during drug withdrawal, almost as if they're not really withdrawing from the drug. Careful, Wellbutrin gave me severe tardive dyskinesia years later
That sounds awful, I’m sorry you got that! For how many years did you take Wellbutrin ?
Do you live in the UAE? I'm facing the same issue.

Esmu pasūtījusi tikai no vietējiem saitiem, bet ja shortage, tad jāsūta no ārzemēm.. un kā tad tur ir ar recepti un kā tas viss notiek, vai Tu zini ?
You are so beautiful.
So cute :-)

Well, I'm glad I found your Channel your voice has been very soothing, and very calm and that is extremely helpful to me because of what I've been going through and I appreciate your time doing these videos. I just left a message to my psychiatrist and requested Wellbutrin. It was presribed to me a long time ago and I don't know why I stopped taking it like many others. I was on Klonopin for more than 10 years and was taking less than 1 mg and as needed as well. The withdrawals were absolutely horrible and the stupid imbecile doctor took me off of it cold turkey.
And right now I don't know if I'm having a somewhat mild resurface of withdrawal or if it's just me who has been going through a lot for the last 5 months but I took less than Point 25 mg 2 days ago. it took down the weird feelings and it helped. I was tempted to take 1mg. But I don't want to be on it like I was before unless it was prescribed again because that was the only thing that was working very well for me. I can easily get klonopin in Mexico as a prescription. But I went off of it about 2 years ago and I've had some tucked away just in case of any extremely urgent need arrised and I'm glad I had some stored away. I've been taking Motrin 800 and 7.5 mg prescribed tablet of motion sickness to aleviate the weird hangover like feelings.
My depression is ive been living with HIV for almost 25 years and it's become a trauma. I also detransitioned 10 years ago and lived as a female for almost 20 years. Ever since I detransitioned I've been living in a very isolated world. I have no family no wife or girlfriend except for my dog who has been a tremendous blessing to me. I thought that maybe I could also help myself by creating my UA-cam channel.
I talk about my detransition, music, mentsl health issues and other things and I do have a few videos uploaded two others that I've been working on but as you said the editing is a very interesting skill.
I am familiar with some some editing an audio editing because I'm also a musician and when I lived as a female I had my own adult film company going from my apartment but all of that is gone. All that life is gone everything. Learning video editing is very tedious but when you finish it and you like what you did you get pretty happy. I did not put enough effort on my UA-cam videos but there are one or two that I did put a lot of effort and you'll see it if you go see them.
Once again I thank you for your videos in the time but I would really like updates on your Wellbutrin experiences because for me it's extremely important so scared when I hear about the side effects or if you withdraw from them all because of the horrible experience I had with Klonopin so maybe we'll deuteron is good for me or will be . 9:24 pm.
thank you for sharing your story 💛 I will be posting an update video soon
I have always taken my medication daily, but I ordered 21.5. to change new into antidepressant, because Wellbutrin has made my anxiety worse. This Monday I got doctor consultation for my new medication named Brintellix for Friday, but guess what no consultation for whole day and tomorrow is going to be weekend.
I will start cold turkey tomorrow. Once they call me next week I'll tell them to write new rescribtion. I'm so done done with this anxiety.
