I am on the lowest dose. Sometimes I'm told this is inneffective if you don't raise it up to 300mg, but I don't agree. I have noticed significant improvement without it affecting the rest of my life too much.
I have noticed significant improvement without it affecting the rest of my life too much.
I have not smoked for years, but my theory is that previous exposure to nicotine when younger must have affected my brain in the way that bupropion is effective for me just like it is for smokers. I does make me less tolerant to alcohol. I have not had motivation to drink for several months. It makes it taste bad and I feel dizzy and puffed even if I get just a tad bit of beer. The thing is, I think it's for the best. Because I was so depressed and bitter, whenever I got a little buzzed I'd start saying things that people really didn't have to hear. Not doing it helps me keep my cool and I don't have anything to regret saying the next day.
The only time I noticed the seizures they mention that happen if you mix bupropion and alcohol was when I took norflex. That did not knock me off, but did make me really light sensitive for about a day. I know this is not a long, epic story, but I do hope that this can illustrate that this thing can actually be used for good.
