Mariposa, I embrace you with love. I was at my absolute, absolute! end also. Double the wellbutrin, like I said, NOW. I'm taking 400 mg/day. I take about 100 mg 30-50 minutes before getting up. That makes actually getting out of bed much easier. Getting help to just get out of bed was critical. Death was preferrable. Sometimes I will also take 50 mg caffiene tablet (liquid is absorbed too fast) at the same time in the morning, then I go back to bed, and go to sleep, knowing I will be ok to get out of bed when the alarm goes off 30-50 minutes later.
Then, I will take the rest of the 300 mg during the day, usually taking 100-200 mg at a time, untill I've taken 400 mg. I try to not take it later than about 5 pm or so, so I'll be able to sleep ok. I split the lexapro in half, between late morning, and before going to bed.
I hope this helps you, and many others. Man-o-man, I completely sympathize. Thinking where I was, how deep in that pit... I can't think of the words to describe how mentally & emotionally painful it was.> Thank you so much Gaza - you may have saved my life. I was ready to throw in the towel because I felt like I was doing all the right things and nothing was working. I think I feel better already on the 150 mg. Do you really think I should double it? Do you take all the Wellbutrin at one time in the mornings?
