PSSD and Wellbutrin

Unread post by Darman »

Hi All.

For anyone who had had some sucsess with Wellbutrin can you please tell me if it needed weeks to work? I fully realise that with most medication like this the positive effects can take weeks but is that also true of the libedo effect?
Been on 150mg now for 2 weeks. Apart from the groggy head feeling nothing much has changed either with my mood or PSSD...

Thanks

Hi flexstar13

Thanks for your reply.

At neally 3 weeks I have stopped the wellbutrin. I woke up last night feeling like I was on a flight somewhere...hearing bad and ringing in the ears. Looked it up and plenty of people say wellbutrin has caused permanent hearing damage!! I have no idea how much of that is true but its the last think I want.

To be honest this is really getting me down now. People have no idea of the knock on effects this has. I have tried so many suppliments with no sucsess at all. Just a tiny respite would give me hope.

All the best.

It’s tinnitus and it isn’t due to any damage when induced by Wellbutrin. See viewtopic.php?t=3480&start=60

Arahant explains it is muscular and gives the link to his recovery story.
I don’t know anything about tinnitus but his explanation makes sense.

I understand that sometimes people hypothesize the most unproven gluta/dopa/gamma/omega neuro-bulshit down/up-regulation to justify some scary symptom.
But I think it's wise to consider well-known causes first...

Check out that Wellbutrin can induce dystonia and bruxism as a side effect, and that's something usually severe while sleeping, then I am not surprised you noticed it after waking up in the middle of the night.
Messing those muscles around your jaw, back of skull and ear can really induce tinnitus.

Thanks for your thoughts. To be honest I had also had a drink so no doubt that made it worse...been off for about 4 days now and don't feel too good. Dont know what to try next, perhaps that Parkinsons drug. I dunno if there really is any point.
