    Hey Conor, I appreciate your video and insight. Was wondering about your mens group. Is that an online thing? Part of a church you go to? I'm hoping to find more of a support group for guys that battle anxiety) depression. I've been to some 12 step groups and they seem a bit sterile too me. Wondering if you have any suggestions? Thanks

    I don’t see why you couldn’t take a low dose as needed. For example, if you don’t get enough sleep. It made my anxiety slightly worse. I felt more laid back when I skipped a day.

    Just had a terrifying experience on Buproprion which is why I'm here. Doc started me on 300 mg and ended up at urgent care with "serotonin syndrome". When those commercials say "call your doctor if..." a bunch of bad crap happens- it was that crap.

    Dude, you come across as very lost and I daresay oblivious to the root of your depression. Depression and anxiety don't just come out of nowhere. You are not born with it. As a counsellor myself I can tell you that 99.99% of early depression is the result of toxic homes of abuse or neglect with most of my clients. If you haven't fully explored your childhood with a therapist then you are wasting your life away and will unfortunately never heal. You need to grieve whatever it is has created this despair in you. Most clients will have no idea that they were abused because it is locked away deep in their subconscious.

    I'm glad you had such good results. Thanks for deciding to share about it. I tried Wellbutrin twice in my 30's. It didn't help me, in fact it made things worse. I still struggle with depression. A lot. I'd say more about it but not in this public forum. Again. I'm really glad you've shared about it. Do you still use coffee? I wish I could function without it.

    Glad I found your videos. Thanks for the information. I just started Buprophin today. I suffer from adult ADHD and I believe much of it is due to lifetime hormonal imbalance. I started Menopause Hormone Replacement therapy 5 months ago but still find when I start experiencing PMDD symptoms still yet, my anxiety and depression come back full force. I'm hoping it works for me to even be allowed to focus and help me to complete some of the 30 projects I have going on. I agree with you that you can't just depend on the medication, but changing lifestyle habits that would work with the meds.🙏🙏🙏

    Hey Brother... this is really helpful. I'm similar and not a fan of ssri tried them before and going through another rough patch last 18 months. Trying all the self care stuff , journaling, counciling, reflecting on crap life events, willpower, sleep but its such a battle. Finances and life / work falling apart despite trying hard. I didnt want to admit failure and need a pharma solution.. but research has landed on wellbutrin. So gonna see if can give it a go.. see if it helps. Cheers for the rec on the mens groups too. I've followed your channel. This video has been really empowering that it's also okay to talk about this stuff too. Cheers !

    I really pray that this works for me too. I have been taking for almost a month now and I still can't tell whether this is working for me or not but I certainly still have the insomnia you speak of. It is so bad that I have to use zzzquil in order to sleep because without it, I don't sleep for more than 4 hours. It has been challenging for sure.

    Once I stopped WB my anxiety, racing fluttering heartbeat, tachycardia went away, sleep better, feel better. I took it for many years, it did help at first but then all the other stuff started and I hope I haven't permanently damaged my brain taking it for so long and not realizing it was the cause of my other health issues.

    Good to hear people with the same experience. My doctors did not believe I felt relieve in a few days. there was a moment they stopped providing it to me because I told them that I do not take in months in a row. I take it for the weeks/months I feel I need it. The nice thing about Wellbutrin is that you start to feel normal but not drugged. I am only scared for long term effects.

  • @kittychi999
    @kittychi9993 ай бұрын

    Conor, thank you very much for this detailed info about Wellbutrin! You asked for comments, so here is my story: I'm in my 70's and used to have deep depressions starting in my 20's. Well back in the 1970's, at least where I was in Colorado and Michigan, "Depression" was not diagnosed. I did go to therapists off and on in my 20's and 30's and still "depression" was not talked about, even though I had it. I felt like something was wrong with me and felt a lot of shame about that, so maybe I even hid it from my therapists. I got married at age 44 and became a stepmother and that involved way more stress than I was used to. My husband encouraged me to ask my doctor for an antidepressant. At age 50 I reluctantly did and got a Rx for 20 mg. of Celexa. About 6 months in we adjusted to 40 mg. Two years in I switched to Wellbutrin 150 mg, 2.5 years in I added Celexa 20 mg. to the Wellbutrin. I felt good, I was able to function, similar to what you said, I felt "normal." Overall I took combination Celexa and Wellbutrin for 15 years, peaking at 40 mg. of Celexa and 450 mg. of Wellbutrin (had to take a 300 and 150 of Wellbutrin to get to 450). I did feel functional, but also as you say, had to keep bumping up the dosages. At age 64 my marriage started falling apart (not because of the anti-depressants) and I knew something wasn't right when my marriage was falling apart and I could not cry. I could not grieve what was happening, I was overwhelmed with sadness, but could not express it. Then was overwhelmed with the entire moving out and dealing with "stuff." I felt I was at the highest dose I was comfortable with as far as the antidepressants and just wasn't cutting it. At this point in time I started studying a program called "First Century Aramaic Forgiveness Process." Which is a mouthful, but was basically filling in blanks on a worksheet whenever I got triggered by something, and also doing some journaling. It became deep inner work, but the "work sheet" only took about 20 minutes to fill out and I could definitely feel a shift after each one. Like clearer about whatever issue I was triggered with. After about 4 months of doing this daily I started to feel kind of "high" and it occurred to me that perhaps I could lower my anti-depressant dose! So I lowered to 300 Wellbutrin and 20 Celexa. That had no ill effects. I kept doing the work sheets and a few months later decided to totally titrate off the anti-depressants. It took a total of about 4 months and I was completely off of them at age 65. But I knew I had to keep doing some type of work to shift the energy I was holding onto or I would get depressed again. I added Kundalini Yoga which I still do daily (there are some specific exercises with Kundalini Yoga for depression) and EFT Tapping has been an amazing tool for me. I am now 8 years post anti-depressants and I feel very comfortable saying that I have cleared my depression. I will never NOT do the yoga or the tapping because I do feel those things shift or alchemize the depression energy that perhaps my biology produces. I am so thankful for the energy tools and teachers that I found. A wonderful thing about these energy tools is this: they are totally free. There is so much free EFT tapping on KZread that has helped me immensely, there is free kundalini yoga on KZread and the worksheets for First Century Aramaic Forgiveness Process are free for the asking to print from their web site. As I finish writing this long response to your video I am filled with gratitude for the work, the teachers and mostly to my inner self for persevering, for courage and for tenacity. I just would like to add that my personal "method" for getting off anti-depressants was intuitive for me, just kind of going toward what felt best for me to do for myself at the time. Looking back now I have come to understand that Depression was an energy that I was holding in my body. There are other energy tools that people can try, but these are what worked for me and my experience has shown me that energy tools do work. I need to stay with it, doing a worksheet, yoga or EFT daily if even for a few minutes, but that is not difficult when I consistently feel better than I ever have at any other time in my life. Edited to add: Conor I found you because I was looking for self-led IFS and am adding that tool to my personal growth practices, so thank you!

    This is an excellent video. I had an almost identical experience as you. I'm also like you when it comes to my trust of the pharmaceutical industry/business. I'm off of Wellbutrin for now. With me, it only worked if it was brand Wellbutrin not the Bupropion generic. My body is super sensitive to medication of any kind. When I first was prescribed it, it was like a miracle switch. It was almost like a reset for my brain. It's true, at least for me, after a a time it does lose its efficacy. I have continued with my support systems and have had slip ups, however I don't feel the need to go back on. It also, unknowingly treated my ADHD.
