In reply to Just how stimulating is Wellbutrin??, posted by starflower on November 10, 2003, at 10:23:49
> Thinking about starting this, but have had a difficult response in the past to meds which claim to be stimulating. Prozac was ok-ish but aurorix (moclobemide) sent me into a tail spin and then a complete crash!
We've had very different responses to moclobemide, but I can definitely relate to your senstivity to stimulating meds. I experience the depression, agitation, and irritability from most drugs that are stimulating in any way. I'm even sensitive to smart drugs like piracetam, aniracetam, etc. Classic stimulants are the worst for me. I would definitely rank Wellbutrin as worse than moclobemide in this regard, but not as bad as adderall, dexedrine, etc. I've never tried the new Wellbutrin XL, and maybe it's better in this regard. Only one way to find out, but if you're sensitive like I am, I wouldn't be surprised if Wellbutrin makes you irritable and agitated. What is the reason for your interest in Wellbutrin? There may be a more tolerable alternative, but then again, it could be a miracle for you.
Hang in there,
Jon :)p.s. never give up!
