Wellbutrin XL

The only antidepressant that has ever worked for me. Am I a little concenred about long term side effects? Maybe. But in the meantime, life doesn’t feel so incredibly difficult and heavy

Bupropion 300xl

my first post in ages… sorry was so fucking depressed but i think my antidepressants are working. SO i recommend bupropion (generic Wellbutrin) the XL version cause you only have to take it once a day and I think I appreciate the small things in life again

wellbutrin (not ssris)

Honestly, I regret going on SSRIs at a young age (14). I had a lot of side effects that I didn’t yet have the vocabulary to describe. I also feel like I blindly trusted psychiatry a little too much, by not looking into the pros and cons. I feel like I have some permanent brain fog and sexual dysfunction, but it’s impossible to tell what’s actually from the SSRIs. But they’re very effective. To this day, my psychiatrist still insists I should go back on SSRIs (he’s known me since I was 15, I’m 21 now) and that I was doing better when I was on them. If you have bad depression and a developed frontal lobe SSRIs may very well be the right decision for you. I don’t want to sound like I’m completely against it or scare you because these can be life-saving drugs. That being said, Wellbutrin has a much milder side effect profile but is less widely effective (they work well for some people, but less people). I‘m on it now and I don‘t have any bad side effects. It also has the added bonus of doubling as a smoking cessation aide, which is good if you have a nicotine problem. See what works for you. If SSRIs have too many bad side effects for you, try a different class of antidepressant. If Wellbutrin is ineffective, try SSRIs. Everyone is affected differently.

RE-REC'D BY @prophecytalk

Expectations are so intangible, and judgement so abundant, that it’s almost become easier to say “I am not” than “I am”. Positivity has become a sign of vulnerability in many ways in today’s internet zeitgeist, it‘s rarity being clearly identified by the creation of this app. The negativity that has spread rampant throughout our internet has seemingly proven to many that if they are not part of the rejection, they will be the rejected! An equally sad and scary thought! This app is so miraculous to me in many ways. The positivity makes it whole. A lot of us probably feel pretty defensive of this quality due to some of the same principles of community that influence the phenomenons I’ve mentioned above.  Anyone can come here and post words and phrases and photos and links and to the vast majority of us the purpose is clear. All the while, it is in the nature of people, good or great ones even, to expel negativity which festers inside :( ! This will happen, but my fellow PI.FYI-ers, what we pay attention to grows! Some good, or great people even, have a hard time identifying these tendencies which do contribute to the spread of negativity into foundationally positive spaces, and their impact in the grand scheme. As a community of lovers of things, I think it’s healthy and only right to continue to kindly remind each other why we have all found ourselves drawn to this platform. Let’s only say fuck off to the evil ones, let’s banish them to Elon Musk’s X, and let’s welcome all the rest to the brilliance of recommending good stuff to good strangers online. I hope to do this for a while :)
