Bupropion overdose especially on XL is a horrible experience. Back in '23 I took 22 XL pills. I took them quite early in the morning and I stayed fine, and that was what alarmed me. The middle of the day, the whole world suddenly turned vivid. It felt really strange. Just in case, I had my relative call an ambulance for me. Got in and everything was fine. They started asking me questions, then all of a sudden, I simply forgot. Slowly, my eyes just closed and suddenly I was somewhere else. Not earth for sure. What felt like 5 minutes, I woke up to my mom and dad looking at me. Didn't even have time to apologize before I was swept right back into unconsciousness. They probably watched me have status epilepticus. It's a horrifying, disgusting thought that they had to witness that. Woke up again on a normal hospital bed. Half my body wasn't able to be moved. Everytime id stand up to piss in a jug id nearly throw up. In that bed for a week, another week in the psych ward, and I was out.
