can you cut wellbutrin sr in half

You could try a half-glass of milk before you brush your teeth in the evening and take your pills, see if it helps. Or drink the milk first thing in the morning, maybe, with a little Cheerios or something.

And sometimes starting new medication can cause a short term increase in anxiety. I had severe tingling in my arms from anxiety and had to get a CT scan to rule out a stroke. Amazingly, as soon as I found out my brain was okay, my tingling went away within a day or so. Continuing to worry about it can cause the symptoms to continue and even become worse. I recommend speaking to your doctor and trying to calm down and see if your symptoms go away.

Typically, individuals are weened off of Klonopin by slowly tapering the dose over about four weeks (which is why your doctor gave you a 30 day supply of Ativan). I would encourage you to begin taking the Wellbutrin SR immediately. In order to continue to provide you with immediate relief from your anxiety, it is often useful to begin an antidepressant and an anti-anxiety simultaneously due to the fact that the antidepressant (i.e.

i have been o prozac since marchand it killed my sex drive so dr added wellbutrin sr in on the 10th of june and so far i notice nothing,will give it a couple more weeks

i am doing great since last march...im taking the wellbutrin sr 150 mg 3 times a day now instead of 2 in am and 1 in pm..

The above poster gave you great advice. Wellbutrin is more stimulating and can make your anxiety worse. Not all people have this problem but some do. Have you thought about switching from Xananx to Klonopin? Are you starting off on 300 mgs total a day?

*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 have lost 8 pds in the last 5 days(not complaining) but I thought that it was odd because I have not been able to loose a pound in 2 yrs. If I go back on the paxil and cut my 20mg in half will that help? and if so how long should I do this?

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.

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.

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.

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....

Last night I started taking Wellbutrin SR for my depression. I am taking 150 mg in the morning and 150 mg at night. I have noticed today I am very jittery and shakey. I have had about a half cup of coffee (normally I am on cup 3 by this time of morning). I have smoked one ciggarette all day. Is the shaking a side effect of Wellbutrin or would the combination of caffine having something to do with it? What are some other side effects of Wellbutrin?

Followed up yet again with my doctor, he definetly says this is all related to depression and anxiety and put me on Wellbutrin SR 150 mg twice a day, and is going to add Buspar if in a month I don't feel better. My hubby and I are planning on trying to get pregnant soon, so that's why we aren't trying Xanax or anything like that. Anyways, I am on day 5 of the Wellbutrin, and the past two nights I have had some trouble sleeping.

Is the wellbutrin new to you or have you been on it for awhile? I ask because it's a very stimulating antidepressant, and Prozac is fairly simulating as well, so if the wellbutrin is new that could be the problem.

Will I gain weight or loss weight by takeing 300mg of Wellbutrin XL a day? I started loseing weight on the wellbutrin SR but he switched me to the XL because he said the SR doesn't go any higher then 200mg... What should I do???

after about a month on wellbutrin i noticed my weight started dropping, i went from over 280lb to 249lb in 2 and a half months. i am almost sure its the wellbutrin that is helping with this because wightloss for me has been very difficult even with exersise and diet modafications which was not part of the wightloss this time even though i am starting with the gym this week i lost over 30lb doing nothing so im hopeing that with exersise it will drop even faster.

I recently started this, 150mg for the 1st week then up to 300mg. So far the only side effect I've had is loss of appetite. Do any of you have experience with this particular side effect? Does it subside in time?

t know the answer to the disability question, but I can advise you re your symptoms. If you have stopped the Paxil code, you can get rid of the symptoms by going back to a smaller dose and then weaning yourself on a three week schedule...starting the first week by lowering the dose as low as possible; taking that low dose every other day for the second week; then every third day for the third week...you should not have any withdrawal symptoms on that schedule.

Thank you so much ticked!!! That's a relief! Were you on SR or XL?

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?

d probably give it more time if you can handle the side effects. Hopefully things will stabilize for you. I always take Wellbutrin in the morning as it sometimes makes me a bit giddy and agitated. I kind of wish it was sedating as I have trouble sleeping most nights. Maybe take it at night when you need to sleep anyway? Hope it works for you.

I am surprised that you doctor put you on Wellbutrin for anxiety considering it is not commonly prescribed for anxiety alone but rather depression.. it actually is known to increase anxiety due to the over-stimulating effects it has. I am taking both Wellbutrin and Klonopin (clonazepam) and I have found the Wellbutrin to increase my anxiety. Be careful with the clonazepam because it is addicting.

s on or has been on Wellbutrin XL or SR, did it work for severe depression and make you happy again and actually look forward to things.. I'm starting to give up hope.. Also, does anyone have any feedback on consuming alchohol while on Wellbutrin?

i take paroxitine too but at a very low dose and it still makes me tired. what dose are you on? you may need to cut way back on it. wellbutrin is a stimulating med so i don't think that's the problem. the other two i'm not sure about. i wish i could help more. i really think it's the paroxitine. check with your dr. before cutting down or changing any of your meds. take care.
