I tried 150mg of Wellbutrin and it was too strong so my doc gave me 75mg. At first that made me too jittery, but now after a week or more it seems like I am used to it.
I didn't like feeling jittery, but I did like the extra energy (like when I would take Adderall).
So now, when I see my doc in 2 weeks I wonder if I go up to 100mg? It has helped my depression. But I miss the energy.
I dont know how the jitters could have passed so quickly.

Sheila forgot your diagnosis? One week sent me to the hospital at 150mg as appeared hypomanic to the doc saw then. Could it have worked that quickly? Also you take a benzo or a downer? Phillipa

are you taking the non-exteneded release form? yea...i rarely hear it being used...i thought it just outdated. You should check out Aplenzin...maybe start 178mg and move to 348mg...its a version that absorbs better than regular bupropion, and also so for moeny for sale too....lasts all day, check it out...ask your doc about it, vary popular with US psychatrists...

Right now I'm taking 300mg a day of Trileptal and 300mg a day of Lithium along with 75mg a day of Wellbutrin.
At first when the Wellbutrin made me jittery I took 1mg of Klonopin with the Wellbutrin. Now I don't need the Klonopin.
Don't know what to think. This is just the regular 75mg dose.
Do some people move from that to taking it twice a day or to the SR version? I felt like the 150xl lasted too long.

You should take the SR version. Its inbetween the instant that you take and the XL version. Thats what I take, the SR. You could take 100-150mg, that should give you energy. I take 200mg once in morning. The generic is good too, thats what I take. I hardly notice it anymore, but if I come off it I notice the slow tired feeling.
