Well folks, 2.5 years later - I am back (XL Advice Needed)

I used to be on (I think, I can’t find my old paperwork) 300mg SR bupropion from August 2022-December 2022. It saved my life, really. In December I felt that I was strong enough to get off of it, and so I did. I learned how to manage my anxiety better and life moved on.

A year ago I bought a house by myself, and moved out for the first time. My anxiety and ocd has started kicking me more and more in the ass. I recently took a trip to my home country and since before the trip I was going through really high levels of stress. It’s been a month being back and I haven’t been myself. I’ve been moody, snappy, rude, I have no sex drive, no interest in my hobbies, working out everyday has started feeling like a chore. I kept ignoring these things for months now, but they have intensified so much that my family and partner have noticed.

So, I have to tell myself, like the big girl I am, that it’s okay to get help again. That getting back on snris doesnt mean I failed somewhere.

But anyhoo… Do you guys have any tips and tricks for being on 300mg XL?

In my previous experience, since it was SR, I used to take it right before bed so it would kick in by the time I would wake up. I would drink lots of electrolytes and avoid drinking and smoking.
