In reply to wellbutrin psychosis - 300mg, Ziprasidone to cope?, posted by psi_lauris on June 22, 2004, at 23:21:09
I went psychotic the two times I tried Wellbutrin. I simply changed meds. It was awful!

Sort of ghost like feelings towards people that surrond you, as if they were watching you and fooling around with you, making fun of you, etc...

In brief, it is an antagonist at D2, 5HT2A and 5HT1D and an agonist at 5HT1A receptors.
