It's not Wellbutrin, it's Paxil that's the potentially risky drug.

Mental health is important but skip the wellbutrin. It’s in the class of drugs which is associated with increased dementia risk

Not seeing wellbutrin in this, am I missing it?

NP Thanks for posting this, although ignorance might have been bliss. Just got back on Wellbutrin at 60 and am now going to speak with psychiatrist about study,

I have and do the healthy things - meditate, time with friends, eat pretty well, exercise, time with family, have a pet, nice home, financial security etc.

Yet my eating gets so out of hand. I eat protein, healthy fats, enough calories but just want to eat so much. I have a history of trauma including being hungry and unsafe for most of my childhood.

I'm considering going on wellbutrin, in the past I used it for a few months and it has helped me feel better. Even when I don't eat in response to urges, I just really want to and I think about it a lot. Wellbutrin works on dopamine, and when I eat I absolutely believe I'm looking for a dopamine fix to help me feel better, even if it only lasts so long as the eating.

Is going on wellbutrin again for a few months to help me get through this harmful in the long run? Last time I used it for stress. I am under emotional stress now but not the same level as before.
