I love Wellbutrin, because Paxil was useless and made me drowsy and boring and Effexor made me want to kill myself. Wellbutrin is heaven. I even have emotions and shit.
I'm being totally serious when I say I'm really glad to hear this. In general, not about you, though kudos. The stigma and total lack of stigma towards anti-depressants drives me nuts. Different medications work for some people and don't for others. /argument
I try to be as open and honest as possible about my past trauma, mental illness and the recovery process because a surprising amount of people have gone through the same shit and think they're broken for it.

Taco Bell should always be open until at least 2am. Even in the rougher neighbourhoods.

apparently there are some people who don't go bug-house nuts on effexor
but i don't know any of them
I know one person who took it and was okay, but after a few weeks she deemed it a bit much and backed off. I think she's on wellbutrin alone now, after doing wellbutrin + some other antidepressant.
I had a shrink who wanted me to try it, but I stuck with, "I'd like to go back on wellbutrin now."
Also wellbutrin and incessantly smoking weed are kind of a stupid combo.
Also also some foods and drinks still taste strange to me after being on wellbutrin. Like, sometimes I drink coffee and it tastes mostly like a ham sandwich to me? Wine tasted different to me for years. I try not to fret about it.

Oh my God you get that too? Ever since I've been on Wellbutrin, pork has tasted like a dead, rotting corpse to me. I can't eat pork anymore.

It was kind of weird because my job was more oriented towards tasting wine with my boss for purchase and reselling, so she'd be like, "How does this one taste to you?" and I'd be kind of at a loss.
But yeah several things taste like ham sandwiches to this day. Most beers taste like grape soda to me.
technically, my psych diagnosis is "clinical depression and personality disorder (NOS)"
used to be "bipolar disorder type II" but my psychiatrist has decided that while i clearly have a depression problem
"bipolar" doesn't accurately fit my depressive episodes (i don't have proper manic episodes, basically) and my general psychological make-up and behavior is certainly a type of personality disorder but falls somewhere in between NPD and "being an asshole"
so, like, NPD-lite?
something like that

I have semi-diagnosed GAD but don't take meds for it. Though it did cause me to have to leave my last job pretty much. I slept through the full night after my first day of work here, though, which is an awesome sign.

vodka tastes radically different to me now vs. before wellbutrin
it still tastes like alcohol, and i can't identify it as a specific kind of something else
it just... it's not like how it tasted before
there's other things i've noticed this with too.

I'd talk about my depression, but why bother?
Yeah.
Also social anxiety
I'm strong like bull in the brain.
Although I finally have class coming up! Woo!
I try to be as open and honest as possible about my past trauma, mental illness and the recovery process because a surprising amount of people have gone through the same shit and think they're broken for it.
But it used to be pretty bad.
And Cass I also thought Effexor was complete shit when I was on it.
Edit: and Pony and whoever else has noticed this
Totes
Don't you think we all want to do this?
Stupid "society" and its "rules"!
Yeah well I think Choco's Dick Sucking Express should be open late too but you always want to go to bed.
I think this covers most people who willingly spend any significant portion of time interacting through the internet.
I suppose that's better than strong like Hulk.

You seemed to be doing very well when I met you so... congrats on learning to control it?
Basically I'm just happy to have met you.

And then I buck the fuck up because I annoy myself when I'm depressed.
This usually involves going to a kick ass band and sharing a picther with friends.
