LOL! Snoozy, this (above) made my night! It sure makes sense to me (sorry to b*tt in on your thread).
Adderall and Wellbutrin (without a full-fledged SSRI) had a similar effect on me as well (i.e. irritated beyond belief).
I call it my "scooped out melon head" feeling (weird, but the irritable sensation, for me, is like someone has taken a sharp spoon and scraped out my brains to the point that the skin is almost showing through).
What a disgusting analogy! I've tried explaining it to my husband many times and it sounds a lot better verbally.
Have you found that Wellbutrin curtails appetite and/or doesn't produce weight gain? The first psychiatrist I visited suggested 300 mg. SR in the a.m. and 300 mg. SR about 2:00 in the afternoon (I currently take 150 mg. SR first thing in the a.m. with 20 mg. of Adderall). I didn't ever try that dosage and can only imagine how tense I might have been.
Thanks again for the chuckle.
