Avatar n tn • Claiming that the time to peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of bupropion hydrochloride after ingesting Budeprion XL is identical to that in Wellbutrin XL, when studies have confirmed that the Tmax for Budeprion XL is less than one-half of that for Wellbutrin XL; • Claiming that Budeprion XL did not carry with it a risk of dose dumping when taken with food, though reports have indicated that food may increase chance for toxicity; • Claiming that human studies were done comparing Budeprion XL t
886624 tn?1241714264 I started with300mg one week later and have been on that dose for 2 weeks. I feel I am just now starting to feel better. My mornings are still a little shakey but I feel much better as the day goes by. I don't think I could have started with a higher dose than the 150mg. Everyone is different but don't hesitate to tell your doctor if you feel you would like to start a little slower. You don't want to discouraged by side affects from a too high dose in the begining.
Avatar m tn Budeprion XL is giving me extreme anxiety and racing heart. Have been on it for about a month.i am also on Escitraprolam. How can I taper off the budeprion XL. Was thinking of starting by 1 every other day for a while, then every third day and so on.

800430 tn?1237762624 XL helped me with the side effects, it reduced/eliminated them while I was increasing my dose.
Avatar f tn It seems kind of odd that you doctor won't prescribe you Wellbutrin XL if there's a chhance that it could help with your depression. I took it for a while but I also have alot of problems with anxiety and the Wellbutrin seemed to make that worse. I had to take Calonapin with the Wellbutrin so I didn't have an anxiety attack. Try to talk to your doctor again or maybe consult another doctor. I"m sorry to hear about the side effects of the Zoloft.
Avatar f tn What are you hoping to accomplish with this switch? To be honest, I don't think Metoprolol is going to work any better on the PVC's. Trust your physician's instructions. By the way, 25mg (I assume once a day) is a low dose, and I'd consider this a "starting out" dose. I don't know how that compares to the level of Propranolol you were taking.
Avatar n tn Are there any antidepressants that will make me more alert rather than sleepy and tired? This has been my experience with all the drugs I've tried so far. Budeprion being the last one and the worse cause it makes me so sleepy and lethargic, yeah too often I find myself sitting there as if lifeless, staring into space, feeling like a rock with no feelings or emotions...Are there any drugs that will give me more pep and energy instead of making me just wanna stay in bed all day?
1110049 tn?1409402144 She tells me that the lowest dose of XL is 75mg. She has put me on 37.5mg daily Venlafaxine. I tried this as 150mg dose, and it was not the same at all as Effexor. Is there any alternative. I know Venlafaxine, is supposed to be the same as Effexor, but I don't think it is - at least my body said it was different!! I am now wondering what the next step is for me. What is the difference between Effexor XL and Venlafaxine. How do I reduce from 37.5mg Venlafaxine?
Avatar n tn I have been on sr 150 for two months now and just switched to xl 300 as the sr was not doing anything for me. Should I be expecting a change for the better or are they the same?
Avatar f tn What is too low ? I have been on Toprol XL since 2004, starting at 50mg for several years then lowered for a few, then upped early August to 50mg daily. After a few days of a faster heart rate and skipped beats, my cardio doctor upped my doasge again to 100mg in the morning and 50mg at night, Yesterday was the first time to take 100mg in the morning. My BP readings were around 115 (systolic) with the diastolic running in the low 50's and at one time 45. Pulse was in the 50's.
Avatar f tn So, I do think it is wise to taper down on the anti-depressant if you are taking a high dose before starting tramadol. Ask your physician if he/she thinks your anti-depressant dosing level is too high for combined use with Tramadol. And, most importantly read the prescription leaflet instructions that lists the symptoms of serotonin syndrome.
Avatar f tn Her medication has recently been switched from Cymbalta to Budeprion XL 150 MG which is generic for Wellbutrin XL. She tried to kill herself a month ago after breaking up with her boyfriend and last week she made another attempt after he royally screwed up and made her think they were getting back together. She's been in counseling but today her doctor said she should see a psychiatrist. She's slept most of the day but now she's up and crying.
Avatar m tn I have taken 50 mgs of toprol XL for 12-13 years. It is a very safe and a good medication in my opinion. The XL means that it has an Extended Life .. in other words one pill is supposed work for at least 24 hours i think... but anyway... I dont know why the doc would say just use it when your rate is fast.. if you took one a day ....your heart rate should stay pretty regular Id think.. but Im not a doctor... I dont really know about taking it occassionally... doesnt make alot of sense to me..
Avatar f tn The Toprol XL (Metoprolol Succinate) tablet should not be cut in half. Doing so defeats it's time release properties. If you want to mess with dosages (and I don't think you should), the generic Metoprolol Tartrate (referred to as just Metoprolol) can be cut in half without a problem. I take an odd, 75mg. Per day; 50mg at dinner, and 25mg (half a pill) upon rising. Think of your dose level as a "starting dose level".
Avatar f tn I don't think there's anybody on the forum who could advise you whether to take Procardia XL or not. I think you should call your doctor and talk to the on-call doctor about this. None of us are medical professionals - even my husband who's a pharmacist would never give any advice w/out having all of the facts.
Avatar n tn I was on Effexor XR for a few months, but I couldn't take getting sick whenever I forgot to take a dose. My doctor switched me to Pristiq, which works the same way as effexor. I haven't had any problems with weight gain on either of the meds, though. I've actually lost a bit of weight since starting pristiq. I've been on it for months and my depression and anxiety have been put in their place! Your eating habits may have changed a bit.
Avatar m tn No, and after the heavy duty Amiodarone. I have taken Propafenone at 225 mg three times a day and twice a day when I was in sinus following a couple of electrocardioversion. If you're following me, the cardioversions were not purminate...one time I was in sinus for about 18 months the other time for two years. As far as I know a dose of Propafenone once a day will not do much, as the medication will "wear off" quickly. That's why I've taken as much as every 8 hours.
656309 tn?1224489859 I went from brands name Wellbutrin SR 150 mg once a day, which made me energized and active, to brand name Wellbutrin XL 300 mg once a day. Now I am sleepy, lethargic and there is no buzz or energy at all. What's up??
Avatar m tn can you be switched from the time released once a day toporol xl 100mg to the less expensive metoprolol succinate 50mg twice a day to achieve the same effect
Avatar f tn I take 200 mg of toprol xl (metoprolo er), 100 morning, 100 night. My tables can be broken in half to make a 50 mg dose, which I have also used. I'd guess your 50 mg toprol xl can be split in half to give you a 25 mg tablet. I'm not suggesting what dose you should use, just saying I think you have a way to take 25 mg accurately if that's what is needed. I take the med to slow down my HR, driven by AFig. When in sinus I was taking 100 mg and had a rest HR of about 60.
Avatar f tn I've taken welbutrin xl 300 mg for years. This year I gained over 30 lbs and my depression has increased. Recently my depression has really increased. My psyciatrist increased dosage to 450 mg about 3weeks ago. I am very depressed now. Go to bed (my only escape) and don't care if I ever wake up again. I have no drive. Nothing interests or motivates me. What do I do? It is Sun. I don't think I should go to emergency. I have to work 11hrs tomorrow starting 7am.
Avatar n tn i have graves diseas and i take toprol xl 10mg for tachycardia. i recently was awakened by severe chest pains and continued until i saw my endocronoligist which was 6 hrs. they did an EKG & it was bradycardia @ 45 bpm and my blood pressure @ 90/50. I was sent to ER & admitted to 23 observation. they did a stress test, chest Xray, blood work (troponin levels), d-dimer and all came back normal & was then discharged with heart rate @ 46..blood pressure @ 83/46 and chest pains..
Avatar f tn Hi, Everyone. My EP switched me from Sotalol (160 mg daily) to Toprol XL (25 mg daily). His instructions were to stop taking Sotalol (no weaning) and start taking Toprol. It was a HUGE leap of faith for me as I have tried to not obsess about this. Today was my first day. I'm doing fine, but want to know if anyone else has made the same switch and faired well. Thanks!
Avatar n tn I have just been put on seroquel starting at 50 mg and increasing every three days until 150mg at night. I have also been put on Mirtazapine 30mg which i have increased over the same time. I have also just withdrawn after a week tapering it off. I still feel the electric shocks and muscle aches from the withdrawal of my previous antidepressant (paroxetine) and I started getting a pounding heartfrom the seroquel.
Avatar n tn If you have trouble sleeping, remember to take WELLBUTRIN XL in the morning. Do not change your dose or stop taking WELLBUTRIN XL without talking to your doctor.
