Hi Z.
I experienced dysphoria with Wellbutrin on the several occasions I tried it in the past. This time was different, though. The initial dysphoria was mild and transient. I also experienced anxiety with it this time around that I had not in the past.
My response to the addition of Wellbutrin followed a pattern similar to those I've had with antidepressants in the past. Two to three weeks after starting an antidepressant, I begin to improve markedly. This will last for 3 days to a week. I then relapse. I cannot recapture the antidepressant effect regardless of dosage adjustments and length of trial. This has been going on since 1982.
My brain seems to be very efficient at maintaining an abnormal homeostasis.
