I recently experimented with Bupropion and my experience was mostly negative. I used 150mg SR for approximately 3 weeks. Symptoms included Increase in Depression, Increase in Insomnia, Mood Instability, Vivid Dreams. In terms of sexual symptoms I had increased sensitivity however worsened ED.

I could see how a drug like this may improve Anhedonia. I found that the increase in emotional flux from it also reduced my feelings of derealization; however it wasn't worth the instability I experienced in association with it.

I decided to stop the drug and have returned back to my baseline within a few days.

I started seeing a new psychiatrist and he prescribed Wellbutrin for me. I’ve taken Wellbutrin before, about 7 years ago, before I had PSSD. I would say that at best it did nothing and at worst it made my anxiety worse. I can’t remember what the side effects were like or if there were sexual side effects.

I explained to the doctor I’m seeing now that I have PSSD and Wellbutrin was the only thing he could think of that might help. I’m thinking of giving it another try but I’m scared since I know some people here have had bad experiences with it. I myself had a bad experience when I was taking it but I’m not sure whether the Wellbutrin was to blame or if it was a coincidence.

Also I don’t really understand the study posted above. Wellbutrin desensitizes the 5-HT1A receptor? Isn’t that what SSRIs do and what causes PSSD? So why would wellbutrin help PSSD and not make it worse?

I've recently transitioned off bupropion in order to rule out the norepinephrine effects. It's been 3wks and my erections are slightly improved but the numbness and anorgasmia have worsened a bit.
Is should be noted that Remeron is not an SSRI, and therefore technically the problems you have are not SSRI/PSSD related. Any lingering effects you have would likely be caused by a different mechanism than PSSD, and therefore Bupropion may have a different effect on you than someone who was on an SSRI.

I tried bupropion XL 150-300 mg for 2 weeks (some days crushing the tablets), recently. Even went as high as 750 mg/day for a few days. Even mega doses do nothing. No stimulation, no libido increase, no mood improvement. I did notice dry and stinky mouth. My pills were legit, because one time I tried chewing one and half of my mouth went numb. Will try CWE and insufflation when I buy some coffee filters. Toilet paper is not such a good filter...
But what I think worked is a combination of sleep deprivation for around 18 hours and 500 mg of caffeine (1.5 liters of energy drinks)
This thread should be moved to Treatments and experimentation though.
Edit: Actually, caffeine does nothing. But sleep deprivation consistently produces good results.

It worked for me. I was jacking it ten times a day on 75mg. It gradually wore off so I tossed them. No withdrawals
