Anyone else not feel stimulant effects from Wellbutrin???

[ForeverAnxious]

I am on 300mg of Wellbutrin XL and I haven't even been on Wellbutrin for 3 months yet so I can't have a tolerance already. I am also on 1mg of guanfacine in the morning when I take my wellbutrin XL and at night when I'm going to bed. But I don't think 1mg of guanfacine during the day would really kick the stimulant effects of wellbutrin? This really sucks. Anyone out there know what might be going on? Anyone else feel non-stimulated by Wellbutrin? Thank you very much everyone!

Could the fact that it's Wellbutrin XL be a factor?

Oh yea I am also on 100mg of Seroquel at night, and 30 whole mg's of abilify at night as well, I take these for anxiety and bipolar.

Yep the seroquel is probably what is causing you to not feel much from the Wellbutrin if anything. Any dopamine antagonist/anti-psycotic will result in blunted effects from any dopamine agonist/clasical stimulant.

I think stimulation from Welbutrin is felt by a minority. The AP's while negate stim anyway. Hope ot improves your mood though. I've been on it for a while and it definitely helps with my dopamine burnout from years of addiction.

i felt pretty intense stimulation from welbutrin for the first few weeks but after that didnt notice much..welbutrin didnt help my anxiety at all, it made it much worse tbh..i got off it as it wasnt doing much even with increased dosage..
