I tried it after 8 days of 150mg SR a day and the anxiety and nervousness was quite uncomfortable .. should I try it again and supposedly the effects will
subside in time . or stick with 150mg/day and contact the doctor on monday
I really don't want to face the possibility of not sleeping tonight either.
TIA

after waiting a day from the first attempt to go up to 150mg SR 2x/day instead of 1x/day . I took the second does last night( saturday)
some anxiety so I took .25 xanax and I was fine the rest of the night. I woke a few times during the night and generally felt rested when I woke up . got some work done this AM cleaning the glass kiln area so we can start making glass stuff again.
and still felt ok. well then I went to play a video game that was rather intense. something that would normally enjoy because it gets me focused. then I felt really really awlful, shaking hands
dizzy, just a scary feeling . so I shut off the game and tried to relax .. feeling better.. did this DP and NE re-uptake medicine
intensify what I usually experience while playing games?
I have not played it in months because of depression. I feel better but not enjoying 2x day dosage. think I will stick with one per day and call the doc on monday.. curious if anyone had any thoughts on this experience
TIA

can I break a 150mg SR wellbutrin in half or will that mess up the
sustained release aspect of it ?

anyone?

The normal dosage is 300mg.
I personally take 150..it is all I need.
If I am having an over anxious day I will take one in evening.
I would not split in two...unless there is a serated line.
Any more serious issues please PM,
X

good news ! the doc's nurse returned my call and said I can take just one until I meet with the doc sometime in mid december
wheeewww!
that is all

I started with 150mg SR (generic) for a few days, bumped to 150mg SR x 2 for a month. The anxiety after bumping up to 150mg x 2 was intense. But it has subsided.

I have switched to 300mg XL once a day. (again generic) I like it. It helps. It's not like a stimulant. But I find I'm a little more alert. Hope that makes sense. I find the effect to be subtle.

You mileage may vary - good luck chrissaleen.

I seem to be doing pretty well on 150 MG a day I didnt even consider myself depressed until the doc said I was.. I was just trying to get the ADD diagnosis.. but I do feel better in many ways thanks to 150 mg wellbutrin .. if they think I need 300 day I will ask about the XL thanks

When I was on Wellbutrin 300 mgs SR I got really severe anxiety about everything to the point I was vomiting every morning. I was always worrying myself sick and I was experiencing bad social and performance anxiety to the point I could no longer hold any job. Eventually I stopped taking Wellbutrin and switched to Citalopram (Celexa) which helped reduce some of the anxiety.
Do you feel restless and uncomfortable in your own skin at 300mgs? Wellbutrin really messed me up bad. I am still trying to overcome the anxiety that worsened while on that med. :mad:

yes as I said earlier the jump up to another 150 MG a day I could not handle .. big time anxiety . so thankfully I get to stay on 150 and not 300 a day..

but my sleep seems to be getting worse again ..
at least in the mornings I dont feel as much as a zombie after starting WB
