Three days into wellbutrin and I definitely do not like it. This is actually about the 4th time I've ever tried it.
I didn't think my motivation could get any worse, but beginning within hours of the first dose I felt absolutely worse. Just wanted to hide. What little interest I had completely vanished. Lots of unexplained dread and fear and loneliness and detachedness, but no anxiety at all. These things did not exist prior to starting wellbutrin. Now on the third day, it's just getting worse.
This happened every other time I tried it. I guess I was just hoping beyond hope that this time would be different.
What it feels like is that somehow wellbutrin shuts down dopamine production...so that even though it does have some slight dopamine reuptake inhibition, it is negated. That's just what it feels like. I hate it. I'm done with it.
