One of the mental hospitals gave my friend Wellbutrin. They took it away when they found her insufflating it. Thereafter they didn't care about her complaints of depression, and just forced her to take the suicide ideation pill ("anti-psychotic").
I guess Wellbutrin has mild stimulating properties. SSRI drugs were approved on the basis of fraudulent science. The MAOIs were reasonably effective, but caused high blood pressure when the patient also ate fine cheese.
- throaway343467 10y agoI've heard of people doing that with Wellbutrin, always struck me as strange -- it takes a couple weeks to notice any effects orally. A move of desperation, no doubt. I will say some weird side effects have been cigarettes taste like shit and aren't addictive, cocaine doesn't work quite right, and MDMA doesn't work at all. Something about Wellbutrin binding strongly to the same receptors and blocking the others. Probably for the best though...
