Buproprion likely to ruin tripping like SSRIs?

Hi, I've just started taking Buproprion (wellbutrin, zyban) I was reluctant, but i think i need to try something.
Does anyone have experience with trying to trip while on this particular med? Asides from not being able to get high, i'm also a little concerned that Buproprion lowers the seizure threshold quite drastically...
cheers, B

It might interfere, but from what I've read and from the personal experience of my gf it doesn't seem to affect things much.

I can't report about mixing it with psychedelics, but when I was prescribed it, it would give me CEVs and when my eyes were open everything was very euphoric. I felt disconnected too. That stuff can be weird, I would start small at least until you know how you personally react mixing the two.

I've read a lot of people write 'disconnected' in regards to this med. That's very disheartening for me; I can't do SSRIs for this very reason. I lose myself - i can't connect with 'ME'.. and that's no good..
What i particularly need inter-personally is some compassion towards myself... and that's difficult when you aren't to be found so to speak.
I've been making my mind up tonight, and i think i'm going to try out what i know first: LSD has changed my life for the better in so many ways - so micro-dosing daily for a few weeks. Then Mescaline micro-dosing is next on the cards.
Just so you know - I've got very valid reasons for exploring such options. Anxiety disorders can really be hell.
I'll save Buproprion for a last resort.

That's the reason I got off the psych meds. SSRI's do me more harm than good for the most part, and the other meds all have their own side effects. I have been on benzos off and on. My doctor and I have a good relationship and I can ask to be put on benzos, he knows that I recognize the addictive properties and will prescribe me what I ask (normally just 30 pills for 90 days).
anyway
I am still self medicating (obviously) lots of weed, I've tried CBD, my benzos are basically by my choice too, mushroom microdose on occasion. I cant get myself to cut my tabs apart.
CBD was the most interesting to me. It helped with anxiety more than I originally thought it would. Also helped calm my IBD more than just smoking weed does.
My advise for micro dosing is take it every 3 days, just try to ride the "afterglow" if you can. Dosing every day would raise tolerance and may take away from what you are trying to achieve (I'm assuming you are trying to microdose for your anxiety?)
Try the Buproprion though it was one of the better ones they had me on. They had me on it when I was 17, I was eating lunch and a kid threw some food at me, I got up walked over punched him in the face and slammed his head on the table and told him "NO!" By the time I sat back down I didn't realize what had happened (I was super disconnected that day) and there were people clapping and stuff, my best friend loves to bring that story up.
*They had me on 2 meds at the time, the name of the other one I cannot remember. May have been Abilify. It would make the dissociative feeling worse on occasion.

Bupropion gave me lots of high anxiety. It could potentially increase the chance of a bad trip, but it's hard to say. Make sure you're in a good set and setting.
