I had a moment looking at myself in the mirror, and realized I don’t like the person I see. I’ve been trying to change this. Therapy, changing my diet to be more healthy, etc. I’ve taken 10mg of Lexapro for about six months and it didn’t really seem to help, it just sorta put me into a weird headspace. So my Dr bumped the Lexapro down to 5mg, and added 75mg of Wellbutrin to the mix.

I’ve been taking it for 4 days. I’m tolerating the Wellbutrin fine, but my appetite is fucking gone. I’m no longer really craving the stuff I used to, sweets n salts, but my appetite in general is just fucking gone. I’ve eaten once a day for the last 4 days. I’m downing water, and unsweetened tea like it’s the cure for cancer all of a sudden. I have always drank a good amount of water, during summer I knock out at least two gallons every day.

Today I drank 3.5 gallons of water, tea, Gatorade and pedialyte. And I’m still fucking thirsty. Yesterday I had almost the same amount, killed 3 gallons and maybe a quart more. Im not dehydrated, im urinating and it’s clear, but I just can’t drink enough. If I shake my stomach, I can hear the water sloshing.

What the fuck? Is this normal? Should I be concerned for something else? I’m not prediabetic, no cancer anymore, I’ve just had a shit ton of bloodwork done three weeks ago so I’m fairly sure it’s not some undiagnosed condition. Anyone else take Wellbutrin, and have this happen?

Side effect, haven’t had an edible in two days, so I may end up coming out of this completely sober too, which was unexpected but completely fine.
