> Bulldog2, this was my feeling also. I felt jumpy like I was in fight or flight mode all the time. All my motions were quick and jerky, luckily there was no psychological or physical anxiety with this, my body was just wound up. Also I felt no mood lift. Studies in different mammals have shown some or no Dopaminergic activity with wellbutrin. I was thinking it was just the crappy Teva generics, but maybe wellbutrin isn't the drug for me. After all if it were very dopaminergic it would probably be scheduled in the US.
I know how dopamine feels from times when I tried true stims which really hit dopamine..I don't know why p-doc keep saying wellbutrin is a dopamine drug.if you read drug manuals they say it's action is WEAK dopamine reuptake..The other actions of wellbutrin seem to be unknown..I also tried strong norepinephrine drugs and wellbutrin didn't even feel like them...For me had a bit of the to much adrenalin feeling...
Maybe emsam or selegiline with phenylalanine might be better replacements. Selegiline (10 mg) with l-phenylalanine (250-500 mg) was pretty speedy..
