My husband was taking Wellbutrin sr 150 the doctor upped him to 200 sr and they gave him buprion 200 sr(on the bottle it says just Bupr). He had lots of energy on the Wellbutrin sr150 and was a pleasure to be arounds, but on this 200 buprionsr he goes to sleep and is like snappen at me all the time. After reading some of these questions I am worried that things are going to go back to the way they were before he started taking his meds.
I was very recently prescribed Wellbutrin XL, after trying several medications that have not helped [including Wellbutrin SR]. When I saw my doctor, she simply said 'I'm putting you on Wellbutrin twice daily' and I assumed it would be the SR. But what I was given was XL, with the instructions to take it twice a day [morning and around noon]. My doctor's office is closed today, or I would have asked her. I did ask the pharmacist, and he said that yes, this is okay.
Is anyone getting ringing in the ears from taking Generic Wellbutrin(Bupropion sr ) 150 mg. Here is my situation I have been on amitriptiline 25 mg 4 years then went up to 50 mg for 3 years. I started taking only one 150 mg of bupropion sr this is my 5 day. Can I stop taking the amitriptiline with no withdrawls after only 5 days of Bupropion? or has it not been long enough. I hoping that I can stop the amitriptiline by taking the bupropion sr in place of the amitriptiline.
Is there a drug that works as well as Wellbutrin. If not what is the highest dosage that is recommended in taking
Wellbutrin. Also research and several people have compared generic brand wellbutrin and brand that is is a different
reaction to each person, is this true.
I take Wellbutrin (and btw, I do love my Wellbutrin----no side effects for me), but my dosage is 100 mgs and I feel good on that, plus I also take Celexa, 40mgs. This dual combo seems to be OK for my body size.
In fact, I would love to be on Wellbutrin alone some day. Fingers crossed.
Anyhow, definetely go to another Doc and see what they say.
Good luck!
*Is it safe to take Paxil in a very small dosage for a while (to wean off properly) while taking Wellbutrin? is it dangerous? (I called my doctor but she hasn`t called me back and I don`t know what to do).
*Can I take Zantac or something that can really help me when I have such a bad indigestion? (I just don`t want to mix medicines and not be sure about the effects and interactions).
Thank you very much Doctor, I am very scared and worrried.
I was prescribed Wellbutrin (buproprion) for smoking cessation and have been on it for roughly 3 weeks. It is the SR, 150mg in the AM and 150mg in the PM. I have also been on methadone for roughly five years and have been at the same dosage of 25mgs for over a year.
Once starting buproprion (i got the generic), the side affects were pretty bad. I felt like I was on amphetamines.
I've been on wellbrutrin sr 150 bid for almost 10 years for pmdd. the neurologist thinks it is the cause of my tremor and would like to change rx or stop taking it. I'm not past menpause yet. How do I know if I still need this drug for pmdd or if thew pmdd was just a transitional problem?
After being on prozac since march and it killing my sex drive,my dr told me to stop it and start wellbutrin sr tommorow..plus the prozac didnt help my depresssion much...he told me it would say on the papers that come with it that it can cause seizures..but he said thats only if you r prone to seizures...so i went to drug checker and put in all my meds ritalin,xanax and wellbutrin....it says the combo of wellbutrin and ritalin really increases the chance of seizures and so does the xanx..
I am taking Wellbutrin SR 300Mg, 200 mg. Zoloft. and 50 mg. Trazodone daily, Do you think these doses are too high? Just started taking the Wellbutrin Sr 2 weeks ago, and feel so much better....
Can you tell me which is the better answer? I was taking Wellbutrin SR 300 mg for a number of years and then within the past couple of years it was inadvertently changed to XI. Could this be the reason for my anger changes a couple of years ago and is Lexapro really the solution?
Thank you for any guidance you can give me.
I've been taking Bupropion(generic) for 3 months. I've tried 300mg-XL, 2x150mg-SR, and both times (though I'd take the morning dose at 6AM) had a hard time falling asleep at night, tossing around in bed an hour or so. I normally don't have a sleeping problem. So, I now take only one 150mg-SR around 7AM and no afternoon dose. I can fall asleep fine now, but my energy runs out in the late afternoon ...
Eve, thank you for your suggestions and help! I tried going up to 100 mg of Wellbutrin SR but I could not tolerate it..... it gave me too much anxiety/feeling of losing my mind! So I went back to the 75 mgs.... The Klonopin (clonazepam) has helped me tremendously in keeping the panic/anxiety in check so I am very grateful for that and I think I'll keep taking it for a while......
everything is at the top dosage. Only the Wellbutrin and Lithium I take during the day. These drops have been going on for quite some time, but now are the very worst they have been.
Last year I had to quit a part time job because of this and got on the sub list. Mornings are my best times til 9:30am, I push myself thru chores and if I do go to work I pray that is only for 3.5hrs.
Things I do to help my weariness leave is to chew gum, stretch, eat a snack of apples and peanut butter.
About two weeks into my new Wellbutrin regimen (150 mg. SR added to my nightly dose of 33 mg. Remeron), I developed a pretty intense bout of heartburn. This heartburn has stayed with for most of the entire past week-and-a-half, and I've recently added a daily Prilosec to my cocktail, which clears up the problem almost entirely. I'm getting ready to bump my dose up to a second WB 150 SR daily, and am worried about this heartburn issue, as I seem to really be responding to this drug.
Can Cabergoline .25MGS twice weekly and Wellbutrin 100 MGS sr once daily be taken together? I know one is a dopamaine agonist and the other a dopamine reputake inhibitor.
keep in mind both are low doses and I want to see if its safe before asking my doctor to prescribe it.
I started taking Wellbutrin SR about 2 months ago and since then I have been experiencing some short term memory loss and have had a decrease in concentration, along with decreased inability to stay focused. Is this a normal side effect for this med?
