It lowers libido and makes you want to sleep all day. At least that’s how it was for me. And it was very strong for me, I ended up cutting up tablets or it was too strong. Anyway I’d ask for bupropion if I were you.

Iirc the prescription was for 50 like you, but I took half so 25 but even that was too much for me so I also tried a third and even a quarter but I was still sleeping all day and I normally already have low libido but it made me completely asexual. Then I got a bit scared reading about pssd but luckily once i got off it I gradually got back to normal over the weeks. I had taken it for one month to try. But bupropion is just better because you actually get shit done and sexual sides are rare.

It’s different for everyone but that’s just my experience. My mood did get “better” ig, kind of numbing the very negative feelings. Just didn’t outweigh the sides for me. Bupropion is also an adhd medication so you can see how that can be helpful to not ldar all day.

Yeah true, i might aswell try but yeah i think i really do need adhd diagnoses but it can take up to 3 years here in the uk. Do you need to have an adhd diagnoses for bupropion?

No and I don’t have one either, it can also be prescribed just for depression or even just to quit smoking (it reduces appetite including for cigarettes) I don’t think I have adhd just autism but regardless it helps you be productive so that’s nice. Only reason I tried sertraline was bupropion doesn’t help with anxiety. But sertraline didn’t help much with that either in my experience so I got pregabalin for that.

Oh yeah my biggest problem is prob anxiety but also just no motivation or drive to do anything.
Anyway thanks bro
