Holy Shit! I want to get out of bed in the morning again!

My experience on this was:

I was functioning perfectly in sexual therms (libido and erections like always very very veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery high). I decided to try it because I wanted to stop smoking and my orgasm pleasure was like 5/10, so why not?

At the first 10 days i felt like i was in mania: everything was very, very good. orgasms were 12/10 - amazing shit, just almost fainting from them. Music was absolute masterpiece - it could be Baby Shark and felt like it was written by Bethoven ft. Mozart.

My mind was racing like a rocket, but was mainly euphoria and mania. Emotional blunting was already there and it gave nothing on this field. Just at that time I was flirting with what i felt like my twin soul, and just wasn’t exactly hyped by that. But fuck it. My orgasms (and eargasms) were WONDERFUL. Just like when i listened to music when drunk plus weed high. And music and woman were what i liked MOST.

at the 10th day, overnight, i lost all my functions, I mean ALL. I woke up and my soul was taken apart from me. i continued for like 1 more week and all symptoms worsened. So i quited it cold turkey (my psychiatrist authorized that).

since then i am here, left with all those symptoms i had that day and some ~20 new others. pure hell, a legit nightmare. it’s been a year and a month.

That’s terrible @gomesemog. I hope you recover soon. You’re perhaps the only case I’ve heard getting significantly worse from bupropion. The vast majority report either benefits or no effect.

What dosage were you taking and was it the extended release version?

I was taking the minimum dosage of any meds I took.

Guess it was 10 mg Amitiptyline and 150 mg Bupropion. Dont remember exactly but was near those, and the dosage supposed to be the minimal.

Did you take the two drugs at the same time?

Yes I did

Okay. I wonder which one causes your unfortunate effects.

Did you have PFS before going on the bupropion for smoking and orgasm help ?

Sorry to hear about what happened

nope. i developed it after 10 days on bupropion. but it was also coincident with a treatment with NSAIDs for an acute bursitis which i developed after a monthh from the start of the antidepressants trial.

I just dont know
