Reacting To Elon Musk's NEGATIVE Tweet About WELLBUTRIN (Bupropion)

I agree with you. Wellbutrin has changed my life for the better, with no side effects. I am so grateful for it.

I have Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, SAD, and GAD. Wellbutrin is a godsend

Everyone’s chemistry is very different. I was put on Wellbutrin 75mg for 5 days and I cried to my therapist that I couldn’t take it anymore. WAY WORSE THAN ADDERALL FOR ME! I was having racing thoughts, heart racing out of my chest, eyes bulging all day from the stimulant effect, loss of appetite and insomnia. Some people DO NOT do well with this

Wellbutrin gave me absolutely terrible anxiety, made me make weird faces, made me extremely restless, with no ability to just chill out, felt like a live wire the entire time I was on it. Do not recommend for already anxious people.

The problem with just using adderall or other stims is some people with adhd can have the dopamine and norepinephrine in their brains but the brain can't use it - this drug wellbutrin actually answers insensitivity to dopamine. Instead of just dumping a bunch of neurotransmitters in the brain some of us can't use it helps us actually use them.

Yes I agree. I don’t mind Wellbutrin. It helps me not to smoke… it improves my mood and gives me some energy. And most importantly, it does not affect my sexual health. I think it’s nicer medicine than SSRIs

I take Bupropion in combination with Escitalopram, and I'm still somewhat depressed (my depression is complex and prolonged by decades) but the Bupropion interaction helps me a lot with my lethargy and lack of desire of doing things, as well as that reverted my sexual dysfunction caused by general meds - so I concluded it's an excellent drug but not for everyone.

I experienced medically induced mania and rage on Wellbutrin. (No history of Bipolar Disorder) Lost too much weight. It was horrible, I wasn't myself on it. I was a madman. Tried the lowest dose years later, still wasn't much help. I hope Vyvanse or Straterra will have a better result.

I used Wellbutrin in college junior year. It made me comfortable being suicidal and also okay with skipping all my classes and staying locked in my room.

I had to tell my psychiatrist to give me Wellbutrin. I’ve been on it 6 days. My responses are more thoughtful, I’m happier. I’m more spontaneous. I feel like I have more energy. Sometimes I don’t sleep well. The medicine makes it less noticeable the next day. I have isolated anxiety, and it’s still there, but I want to change. Where before, I was thinking about the bunker mentality. I know it usually takes weeks to kick in but I already feel a difference.

I started Wellbutrin 5 days ago for adhd treatment and depression. My depression was adhd related I believe as I'm a very happy person. So far its helped with every adhd symptom I've had and has made it very easy to quit marijuana. So far only negative side effects besides harder time falling asleep is for the first three days I sweated BADLY like through shirts. But thats all done for now and i feel better than ive felt my whole life. As i said only 5 days in so I'll see how that may change but as of now zero regret 😊

My therapist prscribed me wellbutrin and the first day on 150 mg, i could not work, felt SO DAMN HIGH, day 2 was better, i felt more in control. Day 3 and 4 pretty ok. I have one wierd side effect, totally in tears in the morning until the meds kick in. I see my therapist in a month and we will see how its working then.

Elon Musk DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT and someone with authority like that in the public eye shouldn’t be throwing around such careless statements. Wellbutrin pulled me out of suicidal thoughts and debilitating depression. Sure for someone else with a different chemistry it wouldn’t be the panacea it has been for me and many others. But same goes if I took one of many other drugs on the market that wouldn’t be right for me. Our chemistry is an incredibly delicate balance. There are many different chemicals that are helpful for many different biochemical imbalances and it’s important to treat things properly. That’s why it’s important to work with a good doctor and identify your genetic markers etc… ;

I think it important to have a doctor that prescribed the best medicine for the type of cognitive issues you are dealing with. I believe that the drug itself can be extremely helpful if given to right person for the right reasons

I think this works better for ADHD than any of the approved non-stimulant options out there. I had a miserable experience with SSRIs but wouldn't go there. I had great results with Adderall and Ritalin for ADHD too though.

My doctor combined fluoxetine with bupropion and I feel way better now. I even quit smoking.

I was Diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. My Psychiatrist gave me this for my depression and I couldn’t keep taking this medication… It gave me extreme anxiety and my heart raced a lot from taking it,also I would have these dreams when I would finally go to sleep that felt like movies & real life events that disturbed me deeply they just felt to real…I couldn’t take the medication anymore for those reasons.

Wellbutrin is awesome when I take it but when the withdrawal starts it’s absolutely intolerable even though I only took it for less than two months.

I took generic brand of Wellbutrin since 3 months! And I am not loose any weight!! Disappointing, and constipations awful. The most irritable side effect for me is dry mouths, dry nose to getting bloody because its all the time dry -,- every time I starting being extremely thirsty a little bit dehydrated, sometimes I feel headache at the end of day and zi know "I drunk too less water!" , the most at the half of day, and sweat a lot.

I absolutely find it hilarious after owning Twitter and a car dealers Elon automatically has become a Doctor all of a sudden where has he gotten his PhD at crumb University😊
