Wellbutrin Is No Poor Man's Cocaine in My Book

I'd like to start off by saying I'm an experienced drug user, I've smoked pot for 10 years, did hard opiates for 5 years, did meth for a year, and have tried various substances of all sorts.

I recently started going to a psychiatrist, for over coming my meth addiction, and depression I've had underlying since I was around 12-13. They put me on prozac at first, and in about a month I got worse. I heard you could get high on Welbutrin, so I brought up to my doc possibly getting a script for that since my prozac made me even more depressed. Boom, just like that I'm walking out of the pharmacy with 30 150mg XR bupropion.

Lovely, I thought. That was easy enough.

0:00 I pop a pill on the way home.

0:10 : I get home, crush up a 150mg pill, break cut myself a huge line, and rail that shit. It burns like a bitch and clogs my nose.

0:15 : not much stimulation, decide to finish the crushed and do another 3 fat lines back to back. My nose gets clogged, the burn is awful, drip is pretty subtle, however mild stimulation accompanied by a terrible headache happens at this point, that is in no way comparable to cocaine or any type of amphetamine.

00:30 : this is about the time I'm pretty disappointed, questioning if I even took enough for a buzz, so I crush another 150mg, break it into 4 lines, snort em.

00:40 I feel like shit. My head hurts.
00:40 I feel like shit. My head hurts.
I'm getting all the shitty effects of stim with no euphoria. Kinda feels like the end of a meth binge.

I probably would of been better off pounding a huge can of monster. I won't try to ever use this recreationally again.

However I'm going to stay away from it for a few days, try and use it as prescribed, and see if it actually does help my depression.
