Hello to everyone. I have a question here. I am currently taking Wellbutrin over the coarse of the last two weeks. I have been taking (1) 75MG pill a day. Suddenly about two days ago I started to have this strange Depersonalization kind of feeling. I'm thinking back to the summer of 2005 when I tried a bunch of Antipychotics such as Geodon, Risperdal, Seroquel, etc and everytime I took one of the pills I had the most terrible side effects to the point that I felt numbed mentally, confused, and after taking Geodon for a five day period I actually started to Hallucinate and hear voices. Upon stopping the med, the side effects went away. My question is: Can Wellbutrin be causing similar side effects to me? All the meds I named all have effects on Dopamine levels. I've looked everywhere on thet net and can't find any info comparing Geodon and Wellbutrin. Geodon is A Dopamine D2 Blocker and Wellbutrin is A Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor. The translation seems to be that they are the same thing for the most part. Can somebody please shed some light on this for me. I think I'm going to stop using the Wellbutrin immediately and go back on Effexor XR. This feeling of Depersonalization is freekin me out. Any responses will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tommy
