Help I just overdosed on something very unreliable and I am afraid

[d-tea]

I just took 3150mg extended release bupropion 30mins ago, sort of on a whim. It's such an unreliable method, I am afraid of pain and living and permanent damage. I don't know if I regret taking it.
Does anyone have experience with buproprion?

This is a terrible TERRIBLE idea. Buproprion even in safe amounts heightens your risk of seizures and other neurological issues. It is not guaranteed that this amount is fatal. Please consider getting help
Also even if you feel fine, you may not experience any negative effects for hours especially with extended release. It could take over a day before anything happens. Please please consider getting help

Bupropion is considered moderately dangerous in overdose compared to other modern antidepressants:

As @bipbapbop said you may not experience symptoms for some time because they are sustained release. I think you should seek help.

Can you vomit?

U may need medical care before they take effect.

Please dont keep them in, get them out.

I have no experience with it personally but I hope you're okay. Like the above posters said please consider seeking help. I wish you the best & hope to hear an update from you!

You are at very high risk for seizures. I'd encourage you to seek help ASAP.

Personally I would recommend ending the attempt here: throwing it up and seeking medical advice if you are in anyway unsure on results. Don't risk the pain. Good luck.

Update if someone wants it
Since I couldn't make myself throw up, I'm in the ICU now

They kept me there for 24h. Then I had a chat with a psychiatrist at a clinic and was free to go.

Already feels surreal & like it never even happened, like it was just a dream.

Glad to hear you're home

I'm glad to see you are ok. How do you feel? Any longterm damage?

You live and learn I guess

I hope you're okay

No damage, it feels like nothing ever happened. Work + Family assumes I had an episode of tachycardia related to stress, maybe energy drinks.
Nothing I ever do seems to have any serious consequences, for some reason. I guess I am lucky.

Im glad you are okay and had no long time damage! I'll take bupropion daily, so overdosing with that is not a choice anymore I guess :D

I have taken large amounts of bupropion, metoprolol & obscene amounts of venlafaxine with some alcohol before, due to not caring & as a form of self harm I suppose(mostly in my early teenage years), but no matter what and how much, I always sort of felt fine, went about my day as normal. Maybe felt a bit anxious and tired. I wonder how things would have been if I didn't go to the hospital, if they would have been just... normal, like every time preceding the last incident.
