Here’s my running diary using Wellbutrin. I started on 5 Nov:
Day 1: leg muscles twitching, nauseous, slight drowsy, nervous and unsure what to expect, sleep score 82
Day 2: really happy, nauseous, slight anxiety, completed psychology homework assignments with ease, sleep score 87
Day 3: really happy, nauseous, slight panic attack, depersonalization after lunch but quickly disappeared, sleep score 80
Day 4: manic happy; sleep quality degraded, sleep score 77
Day 5: felt numb, head felt weird, sleep degraded, things don’t bother me as much, sleep score 74
Day 6: extremely tired, flu like aches, no desire to travel, improved sleep, muscle tightness, anxious during Japanese test, sleep score 86
Day 7: slightly emotional, slightly depressed, muscle tightness, desire to do things degraded, sleep score 81
Day 8: woke up feeling great, traveling to Tokyo, heart rate down to 44bpm, highly stimulated after walking, emotional about children, had two panic attacks, heart palpitations, sleep score none
Day 9: high anxiety for unknown reason likely due to crowds in Tokyo, considering to stop medication (morning), skipped dose for day but considering continuing tomorrow, overall happy (evening after talking situation with wife)
I can’t overemphasis the manic happy on day 4. That day was something that only one can experience.
