HEY PSYCHMEDMAN TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK and get off your high-horse. If you listened to patients instead of trying to tell them whats wrong with them and you know better, you will help them. It sounds to me like your more interested in showing everyone how smart you are than making people well. Just because your body doesn't have adverse effects, and even if the majority of the population doesn't, does not mean that people are making this up. I have no other medications, never been treated for any mental illness, and I don't believe I have one, but I have had a physically debilitating condition that no doctor has been able to diagnose for over a year. I have resisted taking anything for a "mental condition" because I know that is not what started my trouble, but I allowed them to treat me for it now because after being in this situation for a while, I am feeling a little depressed.
I did not even think to go anywhere to see about any side-effects or suspect the Bupropion that have have been taking for just a few days until a nurse (yes there are other medical professionals that disagree with you, I know this must be a shock) told me his opinion was that the drug's side-effects out-weigh the benefits, and how surprising, the recent headaches, lucid dreams/nightmares & joint pain I HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED, NOT SOMETHING I READ ABOUT FIRST were being experienced by others on the same drug. I am not you, everyone's chemestry is different, and different drugs affect us all differently. I hope that you change your attitude and open your mind a little more so you can be more helpful than arrogant.
I will not be taking this drug again at any dose, for any reason. I was only taking 75 mg for 2-3 days and I had these side effects.
I do want to say to anyone thinking of going off this or any other mind altering drug DO NOT GO OFF COLD TURKEY especially if you have been taking it long term and or high dosages as this can be more harmful and dangerous than the current effects, it may cause a psychotic episode. If you want information to back this up, you can see for yourself where several medical journals have been sounding the alarm on several of these drugs at:
http://www.drugawareness.org/ .. don't be put-off by the intro video if you like me are not a Michael Moor fan, I'm not and I still think he is off on a lot of what he says and does, but on some of what he is saying on this point I cannot ignore the statements by medical professionals relaying the findings of academic research, but much of it is unpopular because I believe, the people who have had good results are much like our friend PSYCHMEDMAN who thinks his experience is going to be everyone else's too.
