I’m wondering if anybody has gotten off bupropion successfully?
I started taking bupropion 4.5 years ago to help with mild depression, trouble focusing, and lack of motivation. It helped me tremendously. I always thought it would be temporary and I felt like I was in a good place, even stopped going to therapy after 3 years. So I stopped taking it about a year ago (along with no weed too). But it sucked! I had the worst fatigue, my PMS was terrible, the depression came back pretty quickly. Food cravings were off the charts so I gained 8 pounds in a few months… I gave myself about 8 months to stabilize, but I was miserable and my relationship was hanging by a thread. So I went back on bupropion one month ago.
Things are going much better with my relationship. I’m much more productive at work. And I’m feeling more confident all around. However, my boyfriend made a comment about how I am a completely different person now which is positive, but is also concerned about “who I really am”….
So has anybody gotten off bupropion successfully?
