I responded to bupropion real fast (12 days). It's getting me back into experiencing my endogenous mania in the presence of a remitting depression. I've been fucked up for two years now and was getting suicidal towards the end of this dive into drugs. Bupropion basically killed my amphetamine addiction, my tobacco use, and my cravings for weed. Yes, I crave weed more than typical/average. I was prescribed seroquel to control the dysphoric manic symptoms that appear in my depression. I'm not a huge fan, but I can't say that it doesn't help. I can use any drug to enhance my thinking and there is a place for seroquel – I just don't know how healthy it is long-term. I'm going to start smoking weed again to help guide the manic energy.

I've found bupropion to be a slight psychedelic. It might be my way of perceiving that it is killing my depression. If that's the case this drug is plain awesome. I do see that my attention is stronger. I'm not wired onto any stimuli that arises like on speed. Instead the things I like thinking about I find myself looking into deeper than before. This is why I started screwing around with amphetamine – to look into things.

Details:
150 mg bupropion, twice daily for 300 mg
25 mg - 50 mg seroquel, ad libum
