Yo, I wanted to share some insight into Wellbutrin (Bupropion), a DNRI (Dopamine-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor) that could be a legit game-changer for anyone here dealing with the crushing weight of depression or high inhib levels.
What is Wellbutrin?
Wellbutrin is different from the usual SSRI/SNRI antidepressants (like Prozac, Zoloft, etc.) that mess with serotonin. Instead, it targets dopamine and norepinephrine, the chemicals in your brain that are responsible for drive, focus, motivation, and pleasure. Basically, the things most of us here feel like we're missing.Why This Matters to Incels
If you’re in this space, you probably know how debilitating low motivation, self-confidence, and mental fog can be. You might be spending all your time overthinking or feeling stuck. You might have mad inhib levels (overthinking what others think of you, scared to approach, too anxious to take risks), or just feeling like you’re in a deep rut. Depression and anxiety are at all-time highs, especially when you're already struggling socially or financially. This is where Wellbutrin could help.How Wellbutrin Works:
By boosting dopamine and norepinephrine, Wellbutrin can give you:- Increased Motivation: The dopamine hit can give you the energy to stop being a doomer and start grinding. Whether it’s hitting the gym, working on your looksmaxxing routine, or just doing daily tasks, the mental fog starts to clear up.
- Lower Inhib Levels: One of the biggest complaints in the incel community is the inability to act due to social anxiety and inhibitions. Wellbutrin doesn’t just mask anxiety like benzos do; it raises your internal motivation and confidence. It makes you care less about what others think and more about your own goals.
- Less Anhedonia (Inability to Feel Pleasure): If you’re a dopamine-starved zombie who doesn’t enjoy anything anymore, Wellbutrin can bring back some of that excitement. You start feeling pleasure from things like working out, gaming, or even basic stuff like eating. It’s that dopamine boost kicking in.
- Minimal Sexual Side Effects: Unlike SSRIs, which can absolutely nuke your sex drive and give you permanent ED (PSSD), Wellbutrin actually increases libido in some users. You may even feel more drive to pursue sexual goals or relationships (if you’re into that). This makes it superior if you're also concerned about losing any shred of masculinity.
- Weight Loss: Another bonus? It can suppress appetite and help with weight loss. Perfect if you're already on a cut or just trying to shed some pounds as part of your self-improvement journey.
