Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors: Generics of Wellbutrin cause severe mucosal damages

I am not a doctor, a nurse, a chemist/scientist -- but it doesn't matter, because I've experienced hell on earth because of trusting a few doctors.

Wellbutrin generics causes severe GI mucosal lining damage

By Meredith A. Iager

Dopamine re-uptake inhibitors can cause severe G.I. mucosal lining damage in 5 to 7 days. In 2006, the FDA knew that the generics of Wellbutrin caused mucosal damages in the GI tract. The drug was then of course made several years ago under a few generics, the companies that patent their version of the chemical compound or the "generic drugs." There is always a difference between generic medication and the original medication. You can't patent the same chemical structure or chemical compound.

After only 5 to 7 days on generic Wellbutrin, you can start feeling very queasy. This nauseous feeling can persist for several days. You may think you need Pepto-Bismol, and possibly are using it for several days. Then things get worse and the nausea turns to severe vomiting. No food will stay down because of the mucosal damage which is otherwise known as gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining, as well as duodenitis which is inflammation of the first part of the small intestine -- a few inches into the small intestine. Duodentitis is why everything is worse, because it is where the main absorption takes place, for all your key vitamins and minerals to be obtained from food and supplements.

Having any kind of internal inflammation is very painful, and you can be chronically 24/7 nauseous, with or without vomiting. It is very difficult sleep. The degree to which the inflammation looks on an endoscopy is different from person to person, and even if the gastroenterologist says it's mild, it has nothing to do with your symptoms. Everyone has a degree of their own symptoms of pain, nausea, with or without vomiting.

Our FDA know there are many drugs that can cause mucosal damage, and they want this to occur. This is what loops in people to believe that proton pump inhibitors are a miracle, and when you actually don't have any mucosal damages and the doctor is doing an armchair diagnosis you may get prescribed the PPIs when you don't need them. If you have a good Dr., a gastroenterologist who’s is a normal human being trying to help people, he or she will want you to take an H2 Blocker over-the-counter like Zantac, or a low grade PPI – Prilosec (however these usually give people massive headaches and no relief from the inflammation in the GI tract. You only take these PPIs or H-2 for short periods of time, and better have endoscopy results and many photos, before you take any kind of acid lowering medication.

When you have mucosal lining damage caused by drug, a PPI 40 mg for two weeks, no longer, is a miracle. But don't assume that the PPI's will be a miracle when you have an upset stomach. You don't block the acid, which we need to live, break down food and make sure that no bacteria is that are harmful are carried through the digestive tract. Blocking stomach acid production chronically, will eventually kill you. It's murdering you from the inside out -- digestive system to skeletal structure. The motility of organs begins to slow down.

All Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors, Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, also any other medications that are “calm you down medications” or benzodiazepines, or the different kinds of attention deficit medications, all severely mess with your brain and you're eating patterns. Most of these types of medications mess around and make you think you're always hungry, or they severely curb your appetite. So whichever way you swing you’re going to be having digestive problems.

There is a YouTube video of a man who had a brain tumor. The tumor was pushing on his hypothalamus. It is a gland in the brain that controls part of our thinking and eating patterns. When given the amino acid glutathione in an IV (of course this is monitored by a RN and doctor, and only a certain amount of glutathione can be given at a time and probably only one time per week - doing more than one IV a week is murder on your veins) and these IV's are only done by integrative wellness centers or by doctors that are AMA but doing the alternative approach -- which is the real thing, not throwing a drug at something causing more problems)...

My point is this man's tumor in his brain began to shrink, he does not need surgery. If this man would've listened to a "tertiary" a.k.a. experimental hospitals that are teaching hospitals, he would've been dead. The main reason why -- with a brain surgery there is a 50% chance of death and any normal person would look for other options. You have to remember if you have one tumor or two small tumors somewhere typically when they are cut on -- they usually multiply.

This man had gained several hundred pounds because this brain tumor was pushing against that particular gland (the hypothalamus -- which is what the "calm you down drugs do" they enlarge and mess with this and your eating.

People need to get off these kinds of drugs, they are not medications they are drugs and they are harming certain glands and organs and ultimately our entire body.

The thing that scares me to death is the fact that there are actually millions of people taking various Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors, or Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and they're constantly having digestive problems, and chronically on a PPI and they listen to their Dr. and truly believe it's all in their head.

Nothing is ever in anyone's head -- it's the drugs causing all the problems. If they made a drug that drained everyone's blood, there would be people that would take it, they may actually think they would become a Vampire or Vlad the Impaler himself -- and the fact is they would die -- there would be nothing "undead" about it. The Proton Pump Inhibitors are very close to that kind of drug, PPI's are inhibiting the so-called blood or "acid" of our digestive system. However, when you get mucosal lining damages you do need a PPI for 2 weeks at 20-40 mg to help heal some of that inflammation. But don't take it longer you will get new inflammations. It's a sick dichotomy.
