    Default Hallucinating!

    I know little bits of visual and aural hallucinations are common in most people. Lately, like the last two weeks, I've been hallucinating a bit more. Little tiny bits, like I think I see something, and then I look again and it was nothing. Today I thought I saw a rat run across my steering wheel and I freaked in the car. Just shadows in the corner of my eye. I can't tell if this is stress or Wellbutrin. I hallucinated smoking pot before, which I know most people don't...also taking dexedrine...also diet pills. It's not a big deal, I'm just curious. I'm an excitable person sometimes.

    I hallucinated while too.. I saw a white tiger run across my lawn ! LOL
    It depends on what you're smoking some casues more than others.
    In this cause, it might be the Wellbutin, I'd talk to your doctor about it.

    I upped my dosage to 300mg of Wellbutrin today and I notice seeing somethings that weren't really there too. Like in the car I swore there was a Blue SUV right beside me and I was pissed b/c it wouldn't let me merge into that lane...only to be told by boyfriend it wasn't really there...ahah

    So...the Wellbutrin might be doing it, as it is for me

    I guess technically the Wellbutrin can make you hallucinate, it's listed in the side effects. I can't remember if it has ever effected me one way or the other, because I hallucinate all the damn time. Do you have one type (auditory vs. visual) more than the other?

    Either way, talk to your doc. Meds can do some weird shit to people.

    ^^Mostly visual, and just in my peripheral vision. It really is my go-to reaction with any that resembles an upper. I'll be running on the treadmill and I think I see people walking up beside me, that kind of thing. I just do a double take, confirm it's nothing, and I'm ok.

    I didn't know if it was a side-effect, because I foolishly crumpled up the pharmacy paper and tossed it after a quick read-over. I just don't want my doctor to take me off it because it's the only thing that's really made a difference for my IBS symptoms (I have tried so many things)...

    I'd rather be bothered by imaginary shadows than give up good digestion. It improves my life so much...hopefully I just have to get used to the effects. It'll probably go away. I'll keep it in mind if it doesn't.

    You are driving when you know you are hallucinating???

    That just scares me.

    quick question...what is Wellbutrin?

    cos i sure as hell wouldnt be taking something that had those kinds of side effects.

    hallucinations are sometimes caused by brain tumors too.... and other freaking neurological shit, i know i used to see stuff all the time when i was a crackie, and i know for sure that stuffs not good for you... messing with neurons in your brain is never a good thing imo.

    can you find a simillar drug that does the same thing?

    VG- I didn't realize the Wellbutrin was affecting me. I've been taking it for a year with absolutely no side effects but weight loss, and did not even know hallucinating was one till i happened on this thread.

    I was literally right around the corner from my home, otherwise I would not have been driving
