I read the therapeutic dosage of Wellbutrin is 300 mg. That is what I am on. I am doing fine on that but my goal is to be unmedicated if I can swing it. I wanted to drop down to 150 mg and try that out but wondered if its not really worth the bother is its below the therapeutic dose. Or maybe that shouldn't matter if my goal is to be off of it eventually. Are any of you on 150 mg?

I have been on 150 for about 7 months and have little or no side effects. I did the 300 for about a month but seemed at the time too strong for me. I would like to increase to 300. What do you mean by the therapeutic effect?

I did the 150mg for several weeks, then went to 300mg. I don't really notice much difference in either dose. I assume it's working becuase my emotions have leveled out quite a bit, but then again my stress is leveling out too.

It seems different dosages work for different people. I've read where a lot can't tolerate 300 mg and are doing great on the 150mg. I guess I'm doing well on the 300...

good luck!

I had been on 150 mg for several months, and twice tried upping to 300 mg. Both times, I experienced terrible irritability and side effects. I can definitely say 150 mg was the theraputic dose for me.

i was on 150mg for about 2 weeks. the effect on my mood was from none at all to very mild.

300mg has a little bit more pronounced effect but it is still mild.
