I've recently begun taking Bupropion (Wellbutrin). It's a relatively low dose, 100mg a day. I've been somewhat depressed, having trouble finding motivation to do things I need to do. I think I'm feeling a bit better on that front this morning. Maybe just because I'm expecting it to. Like when getting high you ask yourself, am I high yet? Heh, not really like that.
This is sort of an experiment for me. I'm not sure that I'd call what's up with me depression. Probably not. I've not really found a good characterization for the mental states I deal with. Existential angst isn't a popular diagnosis anyway. It's been a long while since I've messed around with my brain chemistry, not counting alcohol. I'm curious what sort of effect it will have, if any. I'd also like to try a stimulant like Methylphenidate (Ritalin), but I'd need to figure out how to get a prescription for it.
