I am at week four on 150mg Wellbutrin SR for depression, after 10 yrs on SSRIs. Works well. Like the uplifting effect from it. The main side effect is chest tightness. It's like an anxiety type tenseness that slooowly eases off. I take 10mg diazepam for now to deal with it. But, does this pass with time? Previous posters have mentioned it. Did it go away for others? Felt some rage too, initially, but no longer. Can 100mg or 150mg pills be split to dial in a comfortable dosage w/o stomach harm? I prefer the SR due to the lower seizure incidence. I take a 100mg pill in am, then half of one in evening in hopes of spreading out the dosage and easing this side effect. I will probably drop to 100mg until I pass through this stage.
