> Hello Babble, my doctor im so glad she put me on wellbutrin because she's not a nice doctor. She's too smart but she did it for me this time.

> Listen, I think this is the same thing with the strattrea but I can't feel the effects of wellbutrin at all and I don't know if I just have a very high tolerance to drugs and medications. I mean I can't feel anything. When I take Tylenol PM i don't get that "feeling" that the diphendriphine [misspelled] gave me. It doesnt work on me anymore. I feel I am metabolizing too much of the drugs that I put in my body. The same thing happened with strattera....i felt nothing no diffrence if I took a sugar pill.

> Does anyone know what to do?? i mean its like litterly im taking a pill of salt because no effects come on me. I have to jet ginsing down my throught to get a stimulating effect.
>
> I don't think many theroies could tell me why. I just know that I can't feel much effect of wellbutrin at all. I hate my system because it doesnt accept things it doesnt want.
What are you expecting it to do, Matt? If you're expecting Wellbutrin to give you a high, you'll be disappointed. Wellbutrin is a mood-lifter. I have taken it to treat my depression for six years now. I had to take it for a couple of months before I noticed a difference, but depression is a weird thing. I don't think many people experience immediate and substantial relief and are transformed into 'happy' people a week after they start ANY anti-depressant.I don't think it's your 'system' that's the problem - as much as it's your overwhelming desire to feed your addiction and your disappointment that you can't find a permissible medication that will provide that effect. It's your expectations that are causing you trouble, Matt.. and there aren't drugs that will fix your misplaced expectations.
