high on Wellbutrin, looking for other's experience

Posted by waterfall on October 5, 2005, at 13:54:56

After two years off meds, I went back on Wellbutrin 8 days ago due to mild depression (crying every day, not sleeping through the night for about 7 months, no appetite, no sex drive, etc.). On day 3 or 4 I had a half hour of mild euphoria. Today, about 6 hours after taking a dose, I was downright high. Like I was taking recreational drugs. I took 1/2 mg of Ativan followed by another 1/2 mg an hour after that to try to bring myself down and now, three hours after the whole thing started I'm feeling better but not totally normal. Arrgh. The Wellbutrin was working like a charm on the depression. It worked right away and gave me a feeling of general well-being even though the aggravating factors in my life haven't changed at all (and that was a pretty neat trick boys and girls).

When she prescribed it, my psych was afraid I'd become manic due to past history and now I'm afraid of that same thing too. Anyone else experience a high on Wellbutrin that DIDN'T lead to mania? Don't laugh, but I'm hoping maybe this would be an occasional side effect, y'know, like dry mouth, but not lead to mania. Anyone else experienced with this?
