Yeah, that accurately describes their effect on me.
I used to be on Buproprion, but it had unpleasant physical effects on me (i.e. heart racing/pounding, which makes sense, given that it’s stimulant-like) without any noticeable mood effects. I was quite disappointed, since a friend of mine said he practically had a manic episode on it. However, I took it conjunction with an SNRI, so maybe that wouldn’t have happened if I’d just taken it on its own.… Idk.
I’m actually surprised my psychiatrist hasn’t recommended an MAOI to me in that case, since she freaks the hell out when I say I’m suicidal, and I’ve done so twice. I’ll put MAOIs at the bottom of my aforementioned new to-do list. :)
