Really? Felix goes off on the regular about how all mental illness is fake and how people who take welbutrin are just attention hogs. Pretty sure it's projection tho
My dr giving me an rx for Welbutrin after I had a breakdown in her office is probably the single best thing that has happened for my mental health in my 30+ years of life.
I avoided meds for so long, even though it was really obvious that I needed some help. That internalized "only people with real problems need meds, I don't have real problems, I'm just doing it for attention/I'm clearly faking it, if I work harder and just weren't so lazy everything would be just fine, I'm just looking for an easy way out instead of improving myself" mindset fucked me over so hard and so unnecessarily, especially in college and throughout my twenties.
Wellbutrin literally saved my life, even if it has a couple side effects I don’t love. Every other med I’ve taken has either done nothing or made the problem worse, and unmedicated I would’ve killed myself years ago.
Biggest issue is that I sleep too much, taking a lot of naps in the middle of the day, and I doze off when doing long repetitive tasks, particularly driving. Thankfully my girlfriend prefers driving so I don’t have to do long drives myself very often, but when I do I build in extra time to occasionally pull over and take a quick nap.
Other issue is that I sweat too much, I was already a sweaty person but basically if it’s above 75F I’m dripping now
That’s on 300mg of Wellbutrin xr and 10mg twice daily of buspar. It’s also hard to disentangle the effects of the buspar vs the Wellbutrin
It’s kinda the reverse Wellbutrin, where Wellbutrin treats depression but not anxiety, Buspar treats anxiety but not depression. Between the two of them it’s like a whole SSRI but your dick still works.
Oh I don't even listen to the pod anymore. Still seems like a weird thing for a first post. Maybe that's just siege mentality on my part because of the recent spat of new accounts trying to stir shit up and I sort of assumed they were referencing the site itself and not the pod. And yes I understand this is running counter to our new policy about not referencing account age and I should probably just delete this but old habits are hard to break. I will leave it up for people to dunk on me for it.

Felix and Brace think everyone who says they have a mental illness is a 19-year-old Tumblr user from 2014

In summary, fuck anyone who badmouths ADHD meds.

not familiar with that, what is it like?
I had night sweats for the first month of wellbutrin, and also had a couple weeks where I was tired, but that seemed to go away for me.
