Once a long time ago I overdosed on Welbutrin. I took way too many and I had a full spectrum of hallucinations. I saw weird things made of shadows that I knew werent there but also things I swore existed until a day later when i snapped out of it. I woke up and my girlfriend wasnt in bed with me and instead there was a couple of people i didnt know. i was pissed. i was convinced she'd gone off with some girl i had dreamed she'd cheated on me with before i woke up. i went out to my car, there were lots of people outside even though it was 2 am, and my house was also full. i left her a really crazy voicemail about feeling rejected and hurt. then i went back inside, past the people, and there she was in bed. i was so pissed she'd snuck back in without me seeing that i woke her and asked her if she'd had fun at the club.
also i saw a bottlecap in the toilet. it wasnt there.
There was a strong desire to vomit, which caused a lot of dry heaving after i'd emptied my stomach.
Another side effect of taking that much welbutrin is a greatly increased risk of seizures, but that didnt happen to me.
Oh, and my heart rate was steadily very high all night.
(I did go to the hospital by the way, they monitored me and wanted to keep me for 24 hrs but it was just in case of a seizure. we broke out.)

yeah. the information in the box even says something about it causing a rise in teenage suicide risk (my gf wasnt a teenager but still)

Why in the world do they give it to people, then? Does it help anyone?

I suppose it must help some people but there are a lot of prescription drugs out there that just arent worth the risk. I've heard talk radio shows devote a show to it, there was a kid in the news who killed his grandparents and they say it was the zoloft that made him do that, that he was fine before. A lot of depressed people say they'd rather feel their depression than some of the things the drugs make them feel.
You know how a long time ago people thought cigarettes were good for you, and they were everywhere in the media and they ran ads saying they aided digestion and stuff like that? Well my personal theory is that that's where we are with prescription drugs, especially antidepressants. Would you be surprised if, say, 50 years from now or so they were widely known as being terrible for you and this day and age is looked back on as the public being foolish and uninformed?
Of course, to be fair, i'm not saying that they're all evil or anything, something might still work finefor u

you said you took too much... did you take a few pills too many or like half of a bottle? did you do it on purpose?

Okay of you want the rest of the story my two incidents were connected. I took way too much, and I did it to try to scare my girlfriend out of killing herself. like i said i was desperate and scared, but i wasnt trying to off myself because i'd read up and knew the welbutrin wouldnt do that. but she didnt know that. and she called poison control and as always they tell you to go to the hospital. they say that for the tiniest overdose. so we went and i somehow escaped without being detained by the fifth floor. (around here, everyone knows "the fifth floor" to be a direct reference to the infamous psych ward of the local hospital. Kids say to each other "i bet 5 years from now you'll be on the fifth floor") So she took me home and i think it may have been what finally just about snapped her out of whatever she became that weekend. almost like if she was forced to take care of me then she had to stay alive because she still loved me so much.

whoa! okay, i didn't notice those two posts were both by you; i just thought it was another user who picked the same avatar (it's popular). that makes more sense now that you explained how they were connected. that's awful that you were in such a desperate situation that you did that. i'm glad you survived! that's still awful though. and, i can't beleive you broke out of the 5th floor without breaking yourself. damn! i hope i never put anybody through that type of thing that you went through cuz i struggle sometimes with things, but i don't want my partner to be afraid to sleep at night!
