Wellbutrin and drinking - hey all hi started a week ago and tried to drink socially 1-2 days a week. I feel awful. Between this and the insomnia will I get used to it or is this just part of Wellbutrin?

Wellbutrin has saved me.
Wellbutrin, and many other mental health meds, can take 3-4 weeks to build up in your system to work as intended. Give it time, be patient and adjust dosage and combo until you find what works for you.

Also, take Wellbutrin first thing in AM.

Thank you!! Sorry I wasn’t clear! I drink one or two days a week not one to two a night. I meant Friday’s Saturday’s

I think everyone is different as far as how they react to the medication. I haven’t had this happen and I drink 1-2 glasses of wine like 3-4 days a week. No issues with insomnia either but I’ve always been a sleepy person lol. Definitely take it in the morning

Oh ok! I’m only on day 5 so I think I may just have panicked

Let the meds normalize then you should be able to drink SOCIALLY. If you get hammered frequently, it may start to lose its efficacy.

We're in the same boat then....lol

Hi!

Today I read the op-ed in LA Weekly by the Preux and Proper owner, Josh Kopel. When this group started, it was a dream of mine to meet you while enjoying a drink or a meal and build a community of people who enjoy the city and wanted to explore its food. It’s surreal to think that we have been in lockdown for this long. I know many restaurants may be struggling and if you have a favorite, a local gem, please share with us.

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak.

I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?

Looking for some mental health advice - I’ve been dealing with pretty debilitating anxiety/panic attacks for over 5 years. Finally started to get some help for it through medication, however the first 3 meds my PCP prescribed me (ssris) didn’t work. Because I haven’t deal with the anxiety it’s gotten really bad. Do I go to a pyscitatrist whose trained more in pharma or start with therapist. Have done therapy in past without much help.
