I took wellbutrin the other day, and even though I felt pretty tired and physically I felt pretty shitty, I liked the other effects.

Like I felt like I was able to think more deeper about things that have been going on in my life, and another thing, that was the best was I was able to cry. I was so happy, because I haven't been able to cry for a long time. And another cool thing was that my usual muscle twitches seemed to practically go away.

I want to use it again.. but I don't know if maybe, even though it may seemed nice at the moment, if it could have been making me worse but I didn't know?

I'm gonna be going to a psychiatric doctor or something to be evaluated more, but until then I am feeling really crappy and want to use.

I looked up like schizophrenia and I have all the symptoms of the like negative aspects of it "blunted affect and emotion, poverty of speech (alogia), inability to experience pleasure (anhedonia), lack of desire to form relationships (asociality), and lack of motivation (avolition)."

But I don't have the positives.. I don't really get what they mean by positives. But whatever.

I'm just wondering, would using wellbutrin possibly make schizophrenia worse. Or, I might have something else. I don't know.
Thanks in advance.
 
You think you have schizophrenia? Do you suffer from delusions, hallucination, etc?

It sounds like you may have depression, for which bupropion (Wellbutrin) has been indicated for in the USA. I've thought about maybe asking for it for depressive episodes, but here in Australia I think it's only allowed for smoking cessation.
