Summary
In March 2024 they reported that a single dose of Wellbutrin left them completely not functional and led to an ER visit. In January 2026 they were two weeks into an unnamed trial of injections and felt definitely worse, after a few scary symptoms the week before that they linked to neuroinflammation. By March 2026 they were mixing citric acid with salt to meet intake goals.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
