Has anybody had any issues with a persistent cough? It started around the time I started taking this medicine. It stopped when I stopped taking it, and started again when I started taking it again. The medication has really helped with my focus and ruminating, I'm finally sleeping without having to smoke, and I don't want to stop taking it, but this cough is gnarly. It sounds like I'm coughing up my insides, I'm wretching and my abs hurt from being doubled over.

I also had this cough during one cycle of Wellbutrin a few years ago, but I've taken Wellbutrin on and off many times through the years, and this only happened once.

Just curious if anyone else has had it, and if they did anything that worked to resolve it.

I'm taking Auvelity 2x a day, and 1 Bupropion 100mg (hoping it helps with ADHD motivational aspect), and today I mixed a Ryze coffee with my regular coffee. I'd been sipping a little throughout the day, didn't think anything of it. At lunch I had a Jimmy John's BLT. About 30 minutes after eating it, I started disassociating, feeling like I was in a funhouse. I went to lay down, and it became a full on trip. I was down for about 2 hours, but it was like I was inside my brain, I was talking to it. I have aphantasia, which I'm very bitter about, so I spent most of the time trying to convince my brain into allowing me to imagine visually, and when that didn't work, I asked my brain to at least make me motivated, because I've been feeling like a slug, and we went through a checklist of things I could do. So bizarre.

The only reason I'm telling you the conversations is so you realize how much of a trip it was. Anyway, I have no idea what caused me to have that reaction, the only thing I can think of is the Ryze coffee, or somebody slipped some shrooms into my BLT.

I doubt anybody has had a similar experience, so just take this as a warning!

I’ve been on it for about 3 months, and feel it is starting to lose its effectiveness. Has anyone taken a break and restarted it?

**update: I added on 100mg of Bupropion, and it has helped with focus, quite a bit. Not sure how long it will last, but I'll try to do as much as I can before I start struggling again.
