I took Wellbutrin and phenergan large dose(was taking it to music with opiates at the time. and te same time and had a total crazed reaction. I started to hallucinate(hearing and seeing things could NOT recognize reality from fantasy) I also was in rage screaming and angry and just ready to kill someone.... I was not myself and then after rage I was scared and hearing people outside trying I get me.. Freaky shit no one was there but I could see them and couldn't tell if they were really or not.

Also I was hearing a loud radio. The music was so very loud...I listened to it for hours. Except I don't own a fucking radio wtf happened to me?

Am I crazy was I havin a psychotic break that was bound to happen or was it the meds?


I didn't take anything else.
 
Phenergan is the brand name for promethazine an anti-cholergenic anti-histamine.

It causes delerium in higher doses which cause basically exactly what you just described.

100 % promethazine delerium. Not the fun kind of hallucinations, the scary what the fuck is that dude doing in my room and why is he going to kill me kind...

Be careful.
 
Okay thank you. My dose was only about four pills.. Do iyou think it was worse because I took the Wellbutrin sr?
 
It depends, Phenergen comes in 12.5mg, 25mg or 50mg pills. 200mg of promethazine would be enough for someone your size to have people popping out of the walls...

First-generation anti-cholergenic anti-histamines are not to be taken lightly.

Also the use of bupropion is associated with a dose-related risk of seizures. The estimated incidence of seizures is approximately 0.1% at dosages up to 300 mg/day and 0.4% at dosages between 300 to 450 mg/day, but increases almost tenfold between 450 mg and 600 mg/day. The risk may also be increased during coadministration with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anorectics), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, neuroleptic agents, central nervous system stimulants, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, other tricyclic compounds (e.g., cyclobenzaprine, phenothiazines), systemic steroids, and/or any substance that can reduce the seizure threshold (e.g., carbapenems, cholinergic agents, fluoroquinolones, interferons, chloroquine, mefloquine, lindane, theophylline). These agents are often individually epileptogenic and may have additive effects when combined.
 
I took about 150 my and I'm am pretty small...

I just read a thread on this wow I'm so glad to know I'm not fucking that crazy.

Thank you! :) I'm laughing at myself now.
 
Wellbutrin causes hallucinations. When I was in high school they had me on super high doses...Doses that frighten my current psychiatrist.. it was fucking HORRIBLE.... I hallucinated spiders and to this day I cant look at a white wall and not see yellow spider webs. I am sorry that happened to you.
 
Thank you viol- I'm sorry that happened to you. I was trying to quit smoking and in w d and on phenergan and Wellbutrin- I went nuts.....

To this day I will never recommend Wellbutrin because it made me crazy... I almost killed my boyfriend because I was enraged, very scary....

What dose were you on?
 
Cant believe they prescribe meds like Wellburtin to people & things like this happen & they wont prescribe some Vicodin to someone for pain...........gotta love big pharma & the money grubbing politicians.
 
FWIW - alcohol can make someone just as nutty. An ex-gf pulled a knife on me once... Still got the scar from that one. Ah well, life goes on...

Wow was that me lmao

While on wellbutrin I can hardly remember what is going on while it's happening.

I did some more research and I'm not the only one with this reaction to Wellbutrin. This shit should be off the market. And they are giving it to kids now wtf!!! Hate these types of things.

People are being ran by pharmaceutical companies... And the money hungry doctors..

Like my sub doctor( that asshole)
 
LOL :D, I apparently told her she was gonna have retarded kids in my equally-drunken haze...

Guess I deserved it to an extent hahahaha, ahh well. She was ~3 years older than I as well..

(My friends were all rather pissed when I informed them that I didn't break up with her then and there - took a few more months actually ah well. live and learn..)

I was on 150+ mg 3-4x a day. All I can say is it was pure hell and I knew it was wrong. Add Ritalin, Aderall, Dexedrine,, ect whatever I was on... it was a mess. I had to spit em out when my mom wasnt looking.

You were taking adderall Ritalin with it omg. Your neurotrasmitters were having a field day.

With all thy dopamine no wonder you have a psychotic break.

Normally they do not prescribe them together as they both have high affinities for dopamine and norepinephrine with in high doses I know would cause psychosis..... You were on a high dose.
. Do you mind me asking of you still take adderall and What are you symptoms now?
 
Yea, it was BAD. No I don't take adderall. I am a coke addict I believe once an addict always an addict.. I haven't used since 2005-2006... well only one time. That was a month or so ago. My psychiatrist says I was "pharmaceutically tortured" by my mother.. along with severe emotional abuse. I have been treated for panic disorder since I had my daughter in may of 07. I take Klonopin and Valium... Before it was Klonopin and alotta xanax. I will never be able to come off the benzos due to what those drugs did to me as a kid. Now the opiates I use for my back really help with the anxiety/depression... unless I run out.. then it's a hot mess. I do not abuse benzo's though... Sometimes I take more than prescribed due to higher anxiety levels and or panic attacks.

They misdiagnosed me. Said I had ADHD because a boy punched me in the head so I stabbed him in the face with a pencil in kindergarden... My parents took me to the shrinks and I wound up on Ritalin.. then Dexedrine.. then Adderall.. It was a hot mess and it still fucks with me to this day... Not to mention all the wellbutrin and clonadine so i could sleep. My childhood was taken from me in a very fucked up way... By the time I hit high school I would sell my meds but sometimes my mom would make me let her watch me swallow them. We still have a fucked up relationship, infact I hate her fucking guts.

My symptoms from the past are feelings of impending doom. Thinking I am having a heart attack/stroke. Depression. Thinking things aren't real... My brain is fucked.. lol
 
Omg you sound just like me. When I was younger my mother put me in a mental hospital and they drugged me for years. I have been on everything. And it has really messed me up. Along with abuse as a child. I'm pretty screwed myself. I'll always be an addict to. I got clean in feb 2011 but have relapsed three times last year for a weeks at a time and the last time I was on IV diludid because of a surgery but ended up addicted and lying about my pain level to receive more diludid and phenergan and stayed in the hospital a week on them and went home with perc's.

So I am now only clean since 11-1-11 and I suffer some bad panic attacks a few times a day and sometimes I wake in attacks. Some last for an entire day.. They are no joke ya know..

Sorry you went through all of that. I know it's terrible but at least we have learned a lot and have learned what not to do I our own kids ya know...
 
Congrats for staying clean for so long that's amazing!! What's ur clean date? So I'll remember it. :)
 
I don't know the date. It was fall of 06 before I married my husband.. we were together at the time.. (we got married after 5-6 months of dating).. We got married in April....SO I relapsed a month ago but it was sharing a half a gram with my friend and I don't care to do it again. Thank you :)

Sounds like we have alot in common. Feel free to message me anytime.
