Anyone go off bupropion after GBS? What was your experience?

I started bupropion 150 mg SR a few years before getting GBS just for anxiety. I had GBS 8 years ago and again 6 months ago with just a few residual issues (fatigue nerve pain etc). I think bupropion might be what’s making my sleep terrible, so I want to go off but am scared since I know it affects nerves too. I asked my psychiatrist but of course I’m the first pt she’s seen w GBS.

Thanks for any advice!

I have HH in my armpits. I noticed that when I skip anti-perspirant, I don't sweat as much but then I have BO, even with deodorant. When I try a new deodorant/ anti perspirant (Lume, Saltair, etc) it works for BO and maybe sweating for a couple weeks, but then it stops working and I go back to the cheap Secret deo and that works for a couple weeks then the BO and sweating ramps back up and I'm in this cycle. Has anyone experienced this? Makes me think I'm just not tolerating the anti-perspirants and the sweating is just a reaction.

I tried Qbrexza a few times and had horrible compensatory sweating. I don't really want to do MiraDry, botox, or any other treatment like that because i'm afraid of the side effects. Has anyone had any luck with topicals or even OTC things like glycolic acid for the BO piece?

I really just want to find a doctor (even telemed) who can guide me through trying different things, but the ones I've seen just go for the procedures and oral meds. I appreciate any thoughts anyone has on this!
