I am in AA and the Wellbutrin is giving me using thoughts a title bit. I think I have to get use to it. I did part of a meeting had coffee prayed and texted my friend. I feel better just telling my friends about it. I know I am never alone in this journey.

Hi. I take this as well. Just like any medication, it takes awhile for it to build up in your system. I hope it helps you!

You're welcome!🙂I find that it's a good drug. One thing I forgot to mention: I take this is the morning since it has waking properties.

Hi! I’m certainly no expert but I worked in the addictions field for 15-years. From working with hundreds of people in recovery, using thoughts are quite normal and probably have nothing to do with your medication. Talking with friends and fellow AA members (as you are already doing) are very effective in coping with using thoughts. I’ve been taking Wellbutrin 300XL for the last 4-years with no noticeable side effects. It has even helped me too quit smoking (for over 3-years now).
