BUPROPION vs Semaglutide

As I get older, I’m starting to become more aware of the telltale signs that my depression symptoms are getting worse. I’ve noticed that one very specific symptom is that I feel nostalgic about so many things. In a melancholy way, not a fun way. I think it’s my brain’s way of trying to comfort me by

I obviously am not cured but it’s easily my favorite one I’ve been on. I want to know if y’all have ever started a med and were just blown away!! For me, it’s Bupropion (Wellbutrin XL). It helped reduce my depression smoking and my lack of motivation. I’ve genuinely never been happier. ETA: It’s bee

I have been a reader of this sub-reddit for some time now, but it is time for me to post. I am a first generation Asian-American and I have severe depression. I am taking bupropion sr1 at 50mg. The meds work for the most part to the extent that I can function, but at times I feel a huge surge of

So as the title suggests, ive recently come out of a huge stent of depression, about 10 years worth. Because of how long ive been depressed, most of my entire personality was taken over by it. I became withddrawn, self defeating, gave up my activities and hobbies years ago because they were no long

I have been so exhausted lately that I am on the verge of dizziness some days. I get about eight hours of sleep, so I should be well rested enough, but I wake up barely able to get out of bed. It's also really cold right now, which is sapping a lot of what little energy I have left. I am trying not

After four years on a low dose of bupropion XL (100 mg) , I decided to stop taking it. My pharmacist told me to taper off slowly, so for the first 2.5 weeks I took it every 2nd day, and for the next 2.5 weeks I took it every 3rd day. The tapering process went smoothly, so I figured it was safe to st

I’ve been depressed and anxious since I was 10 (turning 22 this year..) and it almost feels like every year, I just lose a piece of myself. Every year, I lose more energy and more hope. I struggle with so much self doubt and self hatred. I wouldn’t kill myself but I often think of how great it would

I'm only 4 foot 10, and gained about 15 pounds in 4 months on mirtazapine. That is something like the equivalent of 6 or 8 dress sizes. I need to stay on the drug because of the severity of my depression and sleep dysfunction, with long covid. Over the course of 2 months I've lost 9 of those pounds,

As I've mentioned in prior posts, I'm an untreated T2 (about 3 years now?) due to being too poor to afford health care and medications but not poor enough for assistance, but that officially ends today!!! I've been on a free CGM for 12 days and now I start Ozempic from a local program and Novo Nordi

I was diagnosed back at the end of March this year and I was very sick. My A1C was 14! Blood sugars of 300+ average. I took this very seriously as I had seen what type 1 did to my grandma. And I know type 1 and type 2 are two very different beasts, I did not want to have to give myself insulin as we

I am new diagnosed type 2 diabetic. My fasting bs was 140 and A1C is 6.4. My insurance denied both tirzepitide and Semaglutide brand names stating my A1C must be 6.5. I’m so frustrated. I had started taking compounded Semaglutide prior to my diagnosis for weight loss and then did my blood work and r

I have been using ozempic for 3 months. My side effects were mild and bearable. I noticed that I got nausea when I ate unhealthy or large amounts of food. I started to eat less and better quality. I was more sensitive to motion nausea (like long bus rides), but all ok. Last month my period was
