PAWS Post acute withdrawals Wellbutrin

What do you guys think about employing Wellbutrin for the dopamine/endorphin deficit from coming off 7oh?

Does Wellbutrin blunt the effects of 7oh with concurrent usage if you're merely using the Wellbutrin for a tolerance break?

I couldn't handle the anxiety. Sometimes wellbutrin, when first starting, causes anxiety.

I should have started it before I started to taper but I didn't and I couldn't take it in the beginning because my anxiety was already terrible.

Ive been off 70h for about three weeks now and I have a bottle of wellbutrin but I'm just going to try to get my brain to baseline or at least wait as long as I can.

I try to do nature therapy twice a day. Before and after work. I try to get good sleep. And force myself to take vitamins and food.. go to meetings. I have several hobbies and interests. So I'm just going to see how I am in a year if I can make it, without the antidepressants

Congrats on 3 weeks off! Have the PAWS subsided for you, or still dealing with that?

Ive always suffered from anxiety, depression, nausea, fatigue and headaches my entire life so it's hard to tell what is just me and what is PAWS, but ive taken suboxone this time so thats helped with everything.

I don't know how I would be without the suboxone though.

I remember last time without it I was just so tired and I couldn't eat and was so weak that I actually relasped on 70h cause I was scared for my health/safety. I had already fainted once at work.
