u/Fit-Ad2

my doctor started me on 150mg xl and i took it for 5 days. i did notice improvements but on the 5th day i had an episode of derealisation where i felt detached and foggy which then led to a panic attack (this has happened to me once or twice in my life unrelated to medication)

i also wasn’t sleeping well since starting it which i think played into the panic attack, as well as some other life circumstances causing anxiety. i was taking it early in the morning but it would still mess with my sleep.

i stopped taking the bupropion after this happened and it’s been about a week and i feel normal again. i’m not sure if i should try again or give up on it. i’m very nervous of having another panic attack especially if im in a situation like flying, travelling etc.

i think im quite sensitive to stimulants but my doctor said this was the lowest dose available (in canada at least).

any advice on if i should try again ? or if anyone has taken it every other day if they are sensitive to stimulants ?
