Wellbutrin SR = Buzz Kill?

And what does disinhibition do? It makes you take more drugs. And what happens when you take too much of both? You black out since xanax cannot put you to sleep. What happens when you black out? You take more drugs.

Repeat and rinse.

This is quite a stretch...

Blacking out does not happen at such low doses, disinhibition can.

Disinhibition is not always followed by a binge. If the correct doses are taken, there is most likely going to be no disinhibition, yet alone psychosis.
 
^ Forget blackouts.

I have personally overdosed on dex because I had taken too much benzos that day since the dex was blocking their anxiolitic effects. This in turn caused me to forget that I took so much of the benzos and I took more, which in turn made me take dex, and so on. That was at the end of a long benzo + dex binge.

I got an angina, and when I woke up I was in the midst of a psychotic episodes and was convinced that my lungs were broken and were producing bubbles in my blood and destroyed my kidneys. All was a hallucination of course, but it was real in my head.

Why do you think I even took interest in this thread? To toot my horn? No, I did so because the OP is a disaster waiting to happen.
 
I don't really have anything to add, but as a recent Wellbutrin SR patient, I'm glad BL has so much information on it. When you start an SSRI the doctor tells you to avoid anything that will increase your serotonin levels due to risk of SS, but my doctor told me "all of those side effects" would be gone once I started Wellbutrin, and since I'm not prone to seizures I don't have to worry about them. The more I read online, the more interactions I'm learning about...I really wish our doctors or pharmacists gave EVERY patient a sheet including the most common recreational substances as well as legal/often abused ones with some description on them, that giant paragraph of random chemical names that prints out with your prescription is not enough. Anyway, I'm doing my research to keep myself safe...so far, I've cried and felt pissed off and annoyed while on Wellbutrin...my year on SSRIs, I felt like a zombie so it's nice that Wellbutrin doesn't block feelings.


Jamshyd is probably one of my favorite BLers, probably because he's a nerd and I think irl we would be friends. He's just looking out for you OP, as the BL mods usually do, since this IS a harm reduction forum. That is quite a cocktail of drugs, all which do interact with one another...a pharmacist really should take the time to explain about the dangers of mixing all of them, since doctors, as trocious said, tend to ignore the contraindications sometimes.

This was purely your fault...

You were already in blackout city before you even began binging.

Tooting your horn? Yes. It happened because you took too much. Period.
This is what I would call an experience, for you, not anyone else. That whole event you did means absolutely nothing.
 
^ So people don't get amphetamine psychosis these days?

And people don't get amnesia from benzos today?

Thanks for the news. I must be really old-fashioned 8)

Thanks for the kind words, PC.

Assumptions, assumptions.

It only happened that way cause you took too much. (Still your fault, and pointless to keep pointing out to you if you just can't seem to understand, you are to blame for this.)

Rarely, (I did not say not at all) do you get any of these reactions from prescribed doses. (This does not apply to you, as you took WAY more, leading to a definite amount of side effects occurring. Amnesia... Psychosis...)

Nothing is going to change.
 
^ I don't care if it was my fault. I gave it as an example.

The FACT is that people DO go through psychotic breaks VERY frequently if they abuse these drugs - all you need to do is watch this forum.

Now this guy claims a doctor perscribed him all this.

I call bull. I think no doctor would prescribe all these together.

And I believe the OP is putting themselves in danger.

Downplaying danger has nothing to do with harm reduction, so please don't downplay the fact that this combo is very stupid.
 
It's not stupid. This is what I've been talking about the whole time. You "think" it is stupid, but there is some point to doing this or his doc wouldn't do it

Nobody is downplaying anything. (Especially in your case.)

In this case Welbutrin may be an augmenter to the Dexedrine..

And the xanax could not just be removed from the picture like so, as the Wellbutrin and Dexedrine can amplify xanax w/d AKA seizure activity.

The methadone also lowers the seizure threshold, but is for W/D or pain management.

So in essence, the Xanax is helping to prevent seizures and calm tremors associated with Dexedrine and Wellbutrin and opiate w/d's.

So, no, It's not stupid. Could be dangerous if OP decided to find a new edge. (Which would be jackass stupid as having an ample supply of benzos and amps, and purposely taking large doses of xanax, and not expecting to move on to the Dexedrine.) *cough cough*

If you take the proper dose, most of the danger can be avoided.

Why do people get the impression I'm in this for sport or something?

I'm not here to win, I'm here to help all this one sided reasoning I see on this board.

A lot of people on here show immaturity like you just did, out of spite, for no real reason at all. It's like no one can stand to be corrected on here or something.

Get the douches out of your asses.
 
^ If you don't like BL, you're more than welcome to leave.

BL is a HARM REDUCTION website. It is not about how to get the best buzz, nor is it about talking condescendingly to others.
 
I did not say anything condescending. Your immaturity is condescending.
You are condescending by the way you blamed your mishap on the drugs, and not even mentioning the fact that you, and only you decided to take the drugs, not to mention argue immaturely at me for correcting you.

I said nothing about a buzz, just to mention.
Also, I did not say that I hate bluelight, just certain condescending people who call other people condescending, like they aren't.
 
I'd just be weary of the wellbutrin, and this is only from my experience. it worked really well for me for awhile but it seemed to have too many interactions with different things, a seizure ended my wellbutrin and xanax use. in my experience the dexedrine would render the wellbutrin useless, I mean I wouldn't bother with the wellbutrin if I had dexedrine. I'm no doctor and cant explain any exact reasons for this, but it was the dopamine lift made wellbutrin worth it for me. but if I had dex sitting around I much prefer that and it's been around a lot longer than wellbutrin. I'm suspicious of some of these newer drugs that all the docs are putting everyone on.

that being said, I know that a lot of people are prescribed wellbutrin, dexedrine, xanax, and opioids concurrently by the same doctor.
 
I think i weaned myself off Wellbutrin to quickly and I have not had any since Feb 25th but I am going through hell. I was seeing dark shadows of a cat 2 days running around, crying, very depressed, face is twitching and I can't seem to crawl out of this. Any advise? I was going to take a Xanax but I am afraid.
