So about a day ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to snort 360 mg of bupropion, so I crushed up 4 90 mg pills of Contrave, which I know isn't exactly bupropion, but naltrexone doesn't absorb well in your nose, so it's basically straight bupropion anyway. Once I did it, I got this huuuuge mountain of powder, which I knew would take a while to snort, and once I started a line, I immediately got hit with a moderate amount of pain, but it was manageable, so I kept going, and after snorting a bit, the pain kind of stopped. And after an hour of snorting this Mount Rushmore ass pile, my nose was raw and painful as fuck, but a few minutes after snorting, I had this weird, super relaxing feeling over me, which is weird because bupropion should be a stimulant, and I've even heard it described as poor man's cocaine, so it's weird I was this blissed out anyway. After a while of enjoying this feeling, I hopped on Google Maps and went to random-ass places like Dhaka and Kazakhstan, and I was in a trance of amazement and bliss at all the cultures and landscapes. I did this for, like, 3 hours straight, and by the end, I was dead sober and awestruck by what euphoric daze had just hit me. It's like trazodone, almost.

I have abused snorting Wellbutrin before. Definitely that dose. And I don't know what Contrave is but yeah you're right to question it because Wellbutrin it would stimulate me. It was very mild and, as you said is very painful to snort more than anything I've ever put up my nose (which is saying a lot).

contrave is a weight loss drug that combines naltrexone and bupropion but since naltrexone isnt water soluable (bupropion isnt the best at dissolving either) i decided to just say it was pure bupropion

Ah okay.

The whole "poor man's coke" thing, it's never truly comparable because the euphoria just isn't there. But even if buproprion did hit dopamine receptors like coke and not mainly just noradrenaline, id still say that the stimulation may feel like, idk, 25 percent pure coke or something.

But if you felt sedated and euphoric, and that's a good thing, then great, but remember that anything done over and over will always lose its charm.

im not expecting true cocaine like euphoria and stimulation but at least a little rush was expected but this one was a bit more subtle
 
And that's normal. I don't believe id call my experience a rush either. But I'm glad it wasn't a horrible experience for you.
