Don't overdose on Wellbutrin (Bupropion)

[gjpop2000]

Wow. Two nights ago I snorted 4 wellbutrin pills and then took some orally, then posted in here about it. Either some asshole deleted it, or I was imagining shit. Let me start by saying that I'm diabetic, which is another reason why I'm stupid for fiddling with this med. I tried my best to write down what I could during the experience, so I'll just translate what I wrote since it was in some bad grammar.

11:50 PM : 30 minutes after first snort (600mg). The pitch of sound is lower than normal, I'm losing some intelligibility, but I'm relaxed as hell. 10 minutes ago I snorted another 200mg and took another 200mg, so that should hit some time later.

12:30 AM: I'm beginning to have auditory hallucinations, and damn, every sound is much lower than it should be [is there a word for this phenomenon?]. My voice is so deep. The 200mg powder and 200mg pill both are starting to kick in.

12:35 AM: Weird. I'm starting to forget shit... I was going to write something down but... I can't remember. Oh nevermind, I remember now: My sense of time is very distorted, as I look at the clock, seconds seem to pass by in different intervals rather than at a steady pace.

1:06 AM: I'm getting used to the high now, I can handle it. I just impulsively and accidentaly just popped two more, and I should get some more effects in a good half an hour... or something negative. I highly doubt I'll still have the ability to type. I can only hope for the best.

[About a half hour from there, some dick assured me that I'd have a sudden seizure and was at risk of certain death. Being as stoned as I was, I couldn't think things through or comprehend it as being a bullshit, and took it very seriously. Back to the report:]

4:19 PM the next day: Last night at about 1:50 AM, the dreadful effects began to onset. Somebody just told me that I was going to have a seizure and die. I was scared to death... as I waited for it. It's impossible to imagine looking death straight in the face, it's a terrifying experience. I'm changed for life because of this. [I'm going to have to cut some juicy details, incase somebody who was involved runs across this.]
I went to the ER because I was scared shitless, I had to down a whole damn cup of this nasty "charcoal" shit that would absorb any more of the pill that my body hadn't taken in yet. After about 3 hours in the hospital, they said I could go home and get some rest. Just a few minutes ago, the long term effects began to kick in, since the medicine is time-released. I'm feeling really excited and giddy, I'm pretty sure the medicine is just fucking with my emotions. I'm fine at the moment, but I don't know what to expect since the doctor at the ER said it may take up to 24 hours for it to completely wear off.

5:00 PM (Typing at about 12:00 AM): The medicine was really toying around with my emotions at this point. What it was mostly doing was amplifying the shit out of my current mood (EX: Happy to overexcited, sad to in tears, angry to a violent rage, etc...). It was all emotional, however. Meaning that my coordination/vision/hearing and all other senses were normal, but I'd have very violent moodswings that could occur within a matter of 10 seconds. Just then, I thought I was fine. Unaware of the situation, I decided to play Doom 3. Fucking bad idea. Now normally, I'm never afraid of any game or movie whatsoever, but with this medicine, it really fucked shit up. I was just playing or whatever, feeling a sense of fear which I didn't really pay any attention to. All of a sudden, one of the imps jumped out at me. My body jolted and I pressed esc to pause the game and literally fell on the ground bawling, trembling like a regular crackhead. I was scared shitless, and I had no idea why. Just then, I realized... the medicine. I tried to stay conscious of this but it did me no good, the fear was speeding through my body, there was nothing I felt I could do. I was on the ground sweating and crying a river, red as an apple, shivering like I had a fever of 105. I stayed this way for two minutes or so, then began to relax eventually. I started forcing good thoughts into my head, to ease the emotional pain. Eventually, I stood up, exited out of the game, and walked away. I went upstairs, which for some reason was very entertaining to me. I began to laugh at the stairs and the railing for whatever reason, until I finally got to my destination. I sat on the living room couch and flipped on the T.V. I was watching some movie on Comedy Central, I couldn't describe it very well, all I remember is that there were people talking to eachother. I started laughing uncontrollably. I couldn't figure out why, there wasn't anything funny at the moment, but in that state of mind, something was insanely humorous to me. Then I regained my sanity again, and just watched it. Suddenly people began to argue. My mind told me that they were directing the drama/anger towards me, and right away I had another emotional breakdown. It was similar to the one prior, however, there was no escape button, in my mind. I couldn't gather up enough intelligence to tell my self that the remote was no more than a foot away from me. So I flipped out like no other time in my life. I did the same thing except I had my ears covered in order to keep from listening to people yell at "me". I was doing the exact same thing, except for about five minutes. It was horrible, I hated it. Again, I picked myself back up and quickly turned off the TV. From then on, for about 3 more hours I kept having more wild moodswings every now and then.

In my conclusion, I know there will be the average amount of shitsticks who are going to respond with negative feedback like "u idiot u sux go kill urself dumass" or something related. Let me make it very clear, I've already got what I deserved, I'm very aware of this, and I don't need a bunch of constant reminders from random idiots with the attention span of dogshit to come ranting and raving about my amount of great stupidity. I've had enough of it. I'm merely posting to inform others of the dangers of ODing on this medication, it's simply not worth it. There may not be many out there, but I'm one of the few who take this medication, and I don't want anybody else to go through the heartache I had to. I'll be happy to hear your thoughts and concerns about my occurance. I can accept negative feedback of course, but I only ask that you don't carelessly write 5 word posts just to flame me, or even write paragraphs with multiple exclamation points (!!!) after each sentence yelling your ass off at me, and please don't delete this post, it might help somebody out there. Thanks for your consideration.

Well I definitely learned not to do anymore wellbutrin. I know for a fact I'm not doing crack, or popping X. I'm still up for some shrooms or LSD though; especially since they aren't addictive. I should do real drugs rather than the cheap pharm shit. Though I'm not afraid to try some Nitrous, or maybe Freon since I've done it before. It still worries me a bit and I'm doing my best to stay away from it, but if it was right in front of my face, I'd definitely do it. I guess you could call that psychological addiction. Maybe I should post my experience with Freon...

I knew one of these would appear sooner or later.

wellbutrin? atleast you learned your lesson though. next time you take it though ,leave it for if you really need it or your trying to quit cigs.

[heyman]

If you didn't OD it would have been an alright high....its an experience you wont forget and in a couple of years your gonna think back and laugh about it....

Wellbutrin? I take that as prescripted medicine!
Though I secretly stopped taking it (been months) and I feel good. It was only useful as a kid when I had major teenage problems that only the medicine could fix. As a kid I would feel depressed like HELL for no reason at all. Or sometimes I would feel really happy and hyper for no reason.
The medicine helped. I also took depikote.
Can't imagine how you got so fucked up though. I guess snorting a bunch of it will do something.
You started changing moods in mere seconds? Just like me back when I was a kid.

Maybe you can learn that medicine like welbutrin used to help fucked up people will only make you just as fucked up as the fucked up people.

Perhaps this experience taught you what it's like to be me. It's hell isn't it?
