Robbie,
That's interesting that you found you crave alcohol more on Wellbutrin. I have had just the opposite effect. I used to want a glass of wine (or more) most every night. Now I don't, or hardly ever do.
Also, as I mentioned, alcohol is more likely to upset my stomach now that I'm on the Well. I have been physically sick twice because of this (vomiting, dry heaves). Maybe that's why it's not attractive anymore, but it seems more to be me forgetting that it's there than me thinking I want it and remembering the physical pain/reaction.
Also, I found that I had no interest in eating meat anymore once my Wellbutrin dose got upped, so I stopped that too. I've been meat-free since March. It just doesn't appeal. Kinda strange, but I don't mind and actually prefer it. Now I can't see ever going back. I think meat would wreak havoc on my system. I tried eating a hamburger in late May and suffered all the rest of the day. Never doing that again...
So as I said, I think it's interesting to hear how the same drug can affect each individual so differently. That's why I like this board so much.
Thanks for your input.
Allison
