Bupropion. An antidepressant, also a stimulant and an appetite suppressant. Gets the blood pumping. I have no memory of my time on it in the 3 months or so I was taking it. It must have been some help because i wanted to continue taking it but was declined >> << My fear is that whilst on it I had no buffering effect on my behaviour - perhaps becoming a little manic ? I cannot judge but as a naturally melancholic type any positivity or energy is to be encouraged. I wanted more. MORE.
The key with it seems to be the 4-6 week response window around which time you'll know if it's working as an adjunct, which is what it is most commonly used for. Not to undermine it's reputation, but a drug is a drug like any other -
Naturally psychiatrists need a reality check- by this i mean medicine has to be understood (by them) since they're not giving the drugs trials themselves a healthy level of what works wins should be exercised
