Water fasting with bupropion + hypoglycemia

Hi,

I know this isn’t the place to look for serious medical advice but I’ve reached a dead end as it pertains to this question. I take Wellbutrin XL and have recently got into water fasting. I was able to do my first 130 hour water fast a week ago, after having never done even a 24 hour one before (and didn’t even eat keto before it; I had a carb heavy meal as my last before the fast). The first night of that fast I experience low blood sugar and considered breaking the fast but I ultimately powered through. I was able to go 130 hours until my body felt too weak so I refeeded on only protein for two days before resuming my normal eating habits for 3-4 days. I tried to start a water fast today but the low blood sugar I experienced was so bad, much worse than the first time. I was so worried of seizure risk from not eating + hypoglycemia + bupropion. Does anyone here fast on wellbutrin XL/bupropion? How do people get past hypoglycemia? I did it once but I felt seriously ill before so I had two glasses of orange juice, and a bowl of pasta. Even after that, I feel dizzy but not like I’m ready to pass out, which I felt like before.

Answer

I am also on wellbutrin XL and my longest fast is like 66 hours or so. I have not experienced what you had gone through as I had some broth when I needed it. Perhaps doing just water isn’t a viable option at the moment and you could experiment with what helps you get through the fasting. I have a normal diet too
