Wellbutrin Medication for Depression - Starting Bupropion 

Thanks for watching!! I hope it helps you!!

Both of my parents are deceased, due to other causes but my best friend committed s*ic*de 1 month after I found my mother. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know it's something that's harder to relate to others the younger you are. Glad to know you sought help for your mental health. I started wellbutrin again today...the 1st time I started I didn't take it long enough because my past drug addiction issues got in the way. I think with this working more with dopamine receptors, it'll be more beneficial to me. Fingers crossed! I hope you're doing the best you can for the time being. I know the holidays are tough. Keeping you in my thoughts.

It’s so true! And since everyone is different it makes it extra hard to find the right thing for yourself. Best of luck on this medication!! Hopefully it’s the perfect thing!

Yeah it’s wild how people can have such different reactions to things!! I hope you found something that helped you more effectively!

This is my 4days taking now im really feels crazy weird and zombie

@@joycepanganiban9077 oh no, I hope it gets better! Don’t be afraid to try something else if it doesn’t!

Is that how you felt after the nicotine completely left your body and then you started taking Wellbutrin or taking it while you were still going through nicotine withdrawal?

@@meelahmiyagi I reduced my nicotine intake when I started the meds but I didn’t completely stop.

Let me know how it goes!! It’s the first one that didn’t tank my motivation. I hope it works well for you!!

That’s amazing! And that makes sense with the stimulating affect it has. It’s still working well so we will see! 🤞

@@toriebrame3419 you would know right away if you were going to have the fast heart beat thing going on. I sure did! As i mentioned most people I know who have tried Wellbutrin love it. So I'm totally happy for you that its going well :) Keep moving forward and thank you for doing these videos.

I just got my prescription today. I’m hoping it works just as well for me as it did you with little to no side effects. Well maybe weight loss😊

Thanks so much!

Thank you 🥰 hoping you are well too!! Thanks for watching!!

Any updates? Did it work?

Same man I hope it works..

Awesome! I’m really glad that worked for you!

Yeah I know a few people who had a bad reaction! So wild how something can be medicine for one person and poison to another!

Interesting! I think of the meaning of functioning and while it’s not ideal - I can keep a job, wash myself and my kids, feed myself and my kids, pay bills on time. So I’m still a “functional” member of society. I agree we are masking tho! I also relate it to autism - high functioning autism can have jobs, relationships, degrees etc. low functioning people might need special care and facilities. Just like low functioning anxious people might not be able to hold a job etc. those are my thoughts 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ take it with a grain of salt ❤️❤️

Thanks Dan!

no it's different, you should try it and see how your body feels on it

I think everyone is different! If you’re that early on, it could just be your body adjusting. I hope you even out soon!! Best of luck!

Do it work??

I totally agree they look the same. The psychiatrists I saw ruled it out because psychosis only happened 1x with the high dose steroids as a catalyst and never before or since. Psychosis is a side effect of steroids so they said it was just that. They said that if it happened repeatedly I probably had bipolar. That was 5 years ago now and I’ve had nothing since, so I tend to agree with them that it was just the steroids.

Which steroids?

I’m on the extended release ones. I take mine right before bed, sleep like a log, and wake up ready to go. Maybe play around with when you take it and see if it helps with the insomnia?

@@toriebrame3419 Oh wow, so interesting. It’s wild how some people can take it before bed & others can’t. I’ll definitely try it. Thanks so much!

So you are definitely feeling it during the day even though you take it at night? Interesting. So maybe the dopamine and adrenaline builds up after awhile of taking this and lingers around all day as long as you keep consistently taking it?

I really couldn’t tell you why it works well for me. It’s almost like when you drink coffee then make a nap and you wake up wired. Same feeling. I do know I can’t sleep in well. If I take it at 10 the latest I’m sleeping is 6am.

@@toriebrame3419 I actually looked into it and it makes perfect sense based on the time it takes to start working in your system, it reaches peak plasma levels in the AM of taken at night. Thanks for sharing. This drug has been incredible for me, too. I think what I thought was ADD maybe was depression? Or maybe a little bit of both. But I finally feel like I’m getting my life in order.

Thank you!! Yes I am ☺️

75mg twice a day is a pretty low dose. It’s also early on. Maybe Stay with it for now and in a couple weeks if it’s improving your mood at all then maybe eventually up your dose. I’m not a doctor though so make sure your taking to your prescriber too! Hope this helps!

Did you stay on it?

Hey I did my doctor even increased the dose to the really high dose and still so tired I just don't think antidepressents are for me they all do the same thing. I just need to somehow get Adderall lol.

@@asifmir3987 same

@@iriegirl73 lol I'm a guy but what did you mean by same you got off of it to or you need some Adderall

Hi! I have been to a psychiatrist and that is where I got diagnosed. Here is my thinking on why i don’t see one at the moment: a specialist in every medical field should be seen when 1) you need a diagnosis that a primary can’t reach, 2) need a medication that a primary is unable to prescribe or 3) when you are unsatisfied with the primary doctor’s treatment. I have my diagnosis already so that checks the first box, I am taking very common medications, and lastly I feel safe and confident with my primary doctor. Depression and anxiety are so common that if everyone who had it had to go to a psychiatrist the waitlist would be years. My thinking is going to a psychiatrist for depression is like going to a sports medicine surgeon for a sprained ankle. BUT not all primary doctors work well with these medications so I highly recommend finding someone you are completely safe with including a good psychiatrist. I’d also love to hear your perspective on this 💜

@@toriebrame3419 my experience having worked with specialists and primary care docs.. you should see someone that specializes in the meds. End of story really.

I am and yes it is! I’m 14 months strong at this point!

@@toriebrame3419 thank you for responding. I’m starting this week after 10 years of taking Celexa. It had stopped working.

Hopefully it’s exactly what you need!!

@@atticus1214 how do you like it?

Hi! I would ask your doctor what you should do. A lot depends on what meds you are on, your diagnosis, and your history so they would know better than I 💜

I am on 150 💜

Going well! Only on week two so I’m still waiting for it to settle in to what it’s going to be long term. I feel SO GOOD. I love it so far. I’ll do another video at one month to update it. I only just got off of Lexapro so I’m sure that is still in my system.

Oof sounds rough!

😂😂 that’s the funny thing about depression. Doesn’t matter what the person has going for them. I think that is a huge reason why so many people don’t seek help because their lives are perfect on paper so they “shouldn’t” be depressed.

@@toriebrame3419 you’re absolutely right. Depression is a real illness no matter how things are going for someone (positive or negative). God bless you!

Then why did you even post this. Mental Health has nothing to do with what another person thinks about your situation, my uncle is worth over 100 million dollars can have anything he wants and is the most damaged, hurting person I know.

What a strange comment. Many people in loving relationships suffer from anxiety
