I been taking it for about 4 days along with my 10mg paxil that i been taking for years.
paxil has helped by extremely severe clinical depression and it has also helped with a long time social anxiety problem.
but merely feeling livable is not good enough for me and I want to feel better. I want to have motivation and actual interests and hobbies.
So I started taking Wellbutrin SR lowest dose and on the first day my heart was beating very fast and I seemed to have some anxiety and vision appeared darker.
Now 4 days in I am noticing I am less emotional. I smile less. I feel more dull and less creative. I can't hold thoughts as well as I used to. I used to fantasize about things when I went to bed but my mind is blocked or something. I can't think of much of anything. I'm like a zombie.
Is this normal? Does this so called anti-depressant just SUPRESS emotions? Is that how it works? Because that is Not what I want.
I want interests, I want to be more social, I want to feel emotions and I can only hope that if I keep taking this med that it will help in the weeks to come because I feel worse these early days than I did before when I wasn't on it.
Any advice on this med? Any people here who took it before?
Any class of meds I should look into that can make me more social, emotional, and motivated?
