Misc The Wellbutrin (Bupropion) Negative Side Effects Thread!

I've experienced DXM on wellbutrin and it was fuckin weird. I highly suggest staying away from it. I believe wellbutrin affects some sort of enzyme that makes DXM come on slowly and last for a long ass time. additionally, its much more stimulating than usual. stay away from that combo
 
Why the hell did I ever even consider doing this? It's very sobering reading about some of the dumb things I've done in the past, but I'm glad I found this post again (semi recent bump). Was very lucky not to have had a seizure or worse, considering some of you in this thread have at lower doses. Rufio, thanks man, I believe you'd be right.
 
I've been taking Wellbutrin for about 7 months now for depression. I take 500 mg a day. I've noticed it makes my hands extremely shaky all the time. I can hardly write or take a clear picture. Also I have extremely vivid dreams at night and hallucinations daily.


The hallucinations primarily happen when i am in the dark. I see people and objects moving. when I think I see a person I always have to think to myself if they're real or not and I can't get my eyes to focus enough to tell. I took 1,500 mg yesterday trying to catch up on them because I had forgotten to take it several days in a row (kind of a bad idea). I wasn't expecting any high or trip off of it. But I starting having strong hallucinations, like seeing things/people but mostly hearing things. I would hear bumping noises and footsteps in my house when i was alone. I went for a walk to try and shake it off. I started hearing noises behind me but no one was there. I also hears clear voices and yelling. Like someone was talking to me or yelling my name. Again, no one was there. It freaked me out pretty bad at first but when I realized it was from my medication it didn't stop but I told myself it was all in my head.

I wouldn't recommend taking this drug for recreational purposes because the effects aren't worth the stomach pains, nausea, and light-headedness.
 
Bupropion 150mg xl (Wellburtrin) RUINED MY EFFING LIFE

Okay so on 19th of June, I was sitting on my back porch talking to a friend I haven't talked to in a while. (years) we had a LONG convo about the past and all this shit that happened back in the day (around 2007)
and the next thing I know I'm sitting on the couch in my house with my mom yelling at me.
She asked me where I was and I told her I was downtown (which was relevant to what I was talking to my friend about as we used to hang out downtown all the time)
She didn't believe me at first but I kept telling her that's where I was, over and over and she started getting really mad and then i was like, wait i actually dont know what im talking about. and then I realized My head hurt really bad and I think I may have had a concussion.
My phone was NO where near where it should of been when i was talking on it.
Looked like it got kicked across my back porch.
My mom texted my dad to tell him that I was acting really weird and she didn't know why. I called my boyfriend and I told him that I think I hit my head on the porch and he insisted on calling ambulance no matter how much i begged him not to. They got there and I really still didn't want to go but they told me I really should, if I had a concussion or a blackout and i'm in pain. (I know I hit my head on the ground, bc there was a concussion and the scratches on my knees and arm indicate the way i landed....not to mention how much my neck hurt) the people in the fucking ambulance were huge assholes, trying to trigger seizures (which, idk might be mandatory) but as they're doing that I start convulsing. and they were like "why are you doing that?" and i'm like "I'm not the fucking paramedic, you tell me" I wasn't trying to be rude, but I was brain fried basically at this point. Next thing I know, I'm throwing up in the E.R, and after that I'm in a MRI or something.... I barely remember that. THE next thing I remember its about 9-11hr later and I'm laying in a hospital bed, apparently I got moved from the ICU to the E.R to a normal room. My boyfriend was there, but I could barely realize that it was him..I almost felt like I didn't even know him, like I just met him for the first time.
They did a urine drug test, it came up positive for METH. There was no way it was meth, i know for fact
So, I got diagnosed with
New onset seizures
Methamphetamine overdose/abuse
Anorexia/bulimia
They basically held me hostage for a few days (happy fucking 21st birthday) so they have time to call Children protection services on me. (they didn't do a more comprehensive test, or anything)
and my BMI was only 16 because of the Wellbutrin.... they didn't believe that though.
Every nurse was a raging cunt to me after finding out that I was a "drug addict" and now my daughter has been taken from me and the reasons are
"use of controlled substances"
"leaving child with unsafe caregivers" (my mom, while I was having multiple seizures...Like I had a choice. Besides, shes not "unsafe" she has an opened DHS due to her husband yelling too much. No one gave me a guideline or rules or said don't leave your daughter with your mom bc of blahblahblah. ALL i've seen is a family skill builder at my house)
"unsolved mental health issues"
So anyway, the min I get out of the hospital, i have to go straight to dhs and the next day was court... maybe it was they same day, I can't remember. A lot of that was blurry.
I was so fucked up due to the Keppra, Wellbutrin, Seizures, etc. The Keppra was making me so fucking pissed off at everything and I couldn't even keep a straight head until I got off it... Once I realized that the medication was keeping me dumb and confused I stopped talking it. (didn't need it anyway, as I've had no seziures since the 19th/20th of June)
I have no recollection of a lot of the stuff that happened and since then I honestly feel like my memory is a lot more fucked up than it used to be (due to my A.D.D)

I really don't recommend trying to get high off of Wellbutrin.
I don't really even recommend taking it at all. (DO Not DRINK WITH THIS DRUG EITHER, PLEASE! and no, I wasn't on ANYTHING. not even booze, but booze can make seizures more possible.)
choking on your own vomit is less fun than it sounds (the only thing I can really remember vividly)

I had about 3-6, possibly more seizures that night and one of them I turned blue during it.
Can't remember what papers I signed, Cant remember who I said WHAT to. I can't remember shit.

What was your dose?
I take wellbutrin XL 300mg for ADD and event though it's not the best for ADD it has improved my life for the better.

I have gotten drunk a few times and consumed '5 meo mipt' a bunch of times with no seizures.

What was your dose, was it SR, XL, regular or what?
 
Yikes. Sounds dangerous. I had a bad Wellbutrin experience while switching over from Lexapro. Ended up in the ER with uncontrollable movement of my limbs/body that they called "pseudo-parkinsonism". And that was from a typical medicinal dose.

Wellbutrin is an atypical antidepressant that can lower the seizure threshold and do other weird things. Please be careful.
 
wellbutrin is fucking nasty.DO NOT USE THIS TO GET HIGH, IT IS COMMON SENSE.I wanted to kill myself when i was 14, i swallowed a whole prescription and i stared to feel fucked up.i lied down and i couldnt move. my thoughts where strange and confused.there was something really wrong going on so i called 911.They came and had to escort me out of my house in a wheelchair cause i couldnt move.I was screaming and everything.when i was in the hospital my heart rate was 160 and climbing up.the normal pulse is between 80-100.i felt like i had to urinate so bad but nothing would come out.Then i had a very scary hallucination..not only could i feel these tiny worm maggots coming all over my body (millions of them) but i could feel them too. I blacked out and my doctor said i had a seizure.then i started screaming i could see witches riding on broom sticks.finally everything went back to normal after a day in the hospital but it was extremely scary and brutal.i dont know wtf i was thinking.ever since then i stopped all of my "anti-depressants". I only stick with benzos.Wellbutrin is very fucked up, i think it should be taken off the market.It is not safe, even in the suggested doses, in my experience it will cause more suicidal thoughts worse than prozac,zoloft,celexa ...any other A.D.
 
another wellbutrin thread? yes i o'd on the stuff when i was younger and had frightening hallucinations , worms in my skin, i have never been more scared.stay away from this nasty shit.

Try licorice root. Only thing I can think of.

There is so much misunderstanding in this thread that it sickens me.

Someone said his post conveyed emotion; maybe to the reader, bu I assure you that the poster felt no emotion writing it.

It's impossible to understand if you haven't been there, but I have been in almost the same situation as a result of Lexapro withdrawal.

I agree SSRIs should not be prescribed, nor Wellbutrin.

They destroy your soul... literally.

Someone recommended going outside and stuff... that may have helped before this poor soul got messed up on the drug, but it won't help now. How can you go outside and make a life and enjoy yourself if you don't have the mental functions required to experience, interact and respond to them?

Just my thoughts. This thread touched me because I virtually know what's it like.
 
start researching rapid acting anti-depressants. they will turn you around.
 
Bupropion lowers an individuals seizure threshold. Also, it is not recreational.

Also, Doctors and Nurses are mandated reporters, they have to call child protective services in certain situations. Examples of this include leaving children with people who have open abuse/neglect cases. Drug use by parents is another one.

Know that often you have the right to request another test or the sample get sent in for a GC/MS screening. If in the rare event the Bupropion caused a false positive this will show that.
 
I tripped out once on a regular prescribed dose.

I was in a detox and they put me on zoloft and welbutrin. One night after about 4 or 5 days on it I started hallucinating. A tree branch came through the window and was trying to get me. The tree was alive and evil. There were all these army/swat dudes outside the window doing some sorta shit.

I never told anyone cuz i was afraid they were gonna make me stay in detox longer to adjust my meds.
 
Wow, that's really bad. I had a similar experience when I took it (as prescribed) where one minute I was about to get into my car (delivering pizza) & the next thing I know I'm arguing with a co worker who's saying I had a seizure. I was saying "WTF are you talking about. I don't have epilepsy" I thought he was fucking with me until I scratched an itch on my forehead & my fingers got all bloody. It was dripping from a gash & I just stared in shock. My co worker told me I was flopping like a fish banging my head on the concrete. The ambulance came & the hospital diagnosed it as "syncope" but I know it was a seizure. I also bit my tongue really hard.

The second major seizure I had was on the interstate going 70mph. Again, all of a sudden I was surrounded by cops & I was saying I was at a friends house & just parked in the driveway when I realized I had no clue what I was talking about. They took me to jail for DUI. I was confused as to what happened or how I crashed until I noticed I'd bit my tongue. (I was sober but fucked up from the seizure. No Wellbutrin this time) There was THC in my urine from days earlier & of course they didn't believe me & I was jailed for a month, a year probation, made to go to counseling, fined, community service & the works. Because I went to trial I got the maximum punishment for DUI. (Sucks, but luckily I only wrecked my car & didn't injure or kill anyone)

I also know a guy who was jailed for assaulting an officer while he was having a seizure. He had no clue what was happening & was tasered during the event.

The fact that they took your daughter is fucked. Hopefully a GC/MS test will clear things up. Good luck to you.

Seizures are very dangerous & even one in the wrong time & place can ruin your life!
 
They probably just do a blood test like I've had when I od'd and tested for all known Sympathomimetic Amines (cathinones/phenethylamines/ etc) and Wellbutrin is a substituted cathinone, albeit prescribed. I reckon a doctor took your test results WRONG, because I know On my test paperwork when I was on METH, XANAX, METHADONE, and all sorts of fucked up shit, it was just "positive for Sympathomimetic Amines, METHADONE, Benzodiazepine/s," etc etc. But I could have had wellbutrin, and any benzo of them all that they test for for it to come up like that on the paperwork (oh, and i'm prescribed methadone so.. duh)

I can dig this paperwork / test results up but yeah. I reckon that's what happened.

I cant say anything about the medical side of thing (what occured with your body) as i have no idea and dont or never have taken wellbutrin.!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathomimetic_drug

Obviously cathinones, phenethylamines/+amphetamine(and-derivatives), cocaine derivatives, etc. all come under this category. Given that the test results most people would be positive BECAUSE OF METH use, so they must've assumed that?? I'd get them into looking at the ACTUAL substances isolated, and in what amounts, how was the test done? blood? urine? hair? sweat? (probably blood) -- you should get a sample to keep and have anaylsed if you need to fight to get your daughter back.
 
^^Sorry lenses,
what are you talking about..???..rapid acting anti-depressants ??.Haven't hear anything about smth like this..except from some euphoric opiods and benzos (dope,opana,dilaudid,OC,rophynol,triazolam,miBdazolam etc.) which i use like rapid acting anti-depressants...
But, if really there is a thing like this, i'm very interesting to know about it...It could be a life-saver for me..%)

This is an interesting story. But to believe you are the only one out there with this condition - well, I just dont believe that. There must be some health professional in the world, somewhere that can help you.

You mentionned a syndrome that is a little like your condition. Why not try to contact health professionals in that specialty?

It sounds to me like the only way out of your situation is complete and total devotion to getting better. If you have no motivation to do so, well, no one will help you, and you will spend the remainder of your days in such a state.
 
I have taken many tests while taking Wellbutrin and never had a false positive. It could potentially happen, however false positives are becoming pretty rare nowadays.

OP if you have any questions about child and family services I might be able to help. During this time I strongly suggest you refrain from all substances. When you get your child back, do not leave them with your mom if she has an open case.

Best of luck and take advantage of services offered to you. Do you have a relative that can serve as a placement should the state continue guardianship?
 
mmm.
Click to expand...
Well,mmm...:?Oh yeah, a REALLY COOL answer..%).Hahaha, i suppose you are(were) boring,heh?;) Well, of course you're not forced to answer me, if you don't want to..i googled it and it showed that ketamine, methoxetamine, scopolamine and a substance called p11,(it's a protein), through the 4 serotonin receptor, can be a rapid acting anti-depprasant..Anyway..
If you know smth more, (and you're not boring of course, heh??..), I'd like to know..Have a nice,safe and fun day:)
