Has anyone had positive results with 75mg of welbutrin ? If so, how long does it take to work?

Today makes 3 weeks I've been on 75 mg welbutrin. I see my doc next week. He will probably increase my dose. So far I don't feel much improvement on mood. So far I have slight headaches and some aggitation. Maybe I will feel a change in mood by next week. I'll check back on to let everyone know.

Hey guys, so today made 4 weeks of being on Welbutrin 75mg per day. For the past week I've been extremely tired. A few times I actually slept all day. It's weird because welbutrin is a stimulant, so I'm confused why this has been happening. I pray it passes soon. I did see my doctor today also and he imcreased my does to 150 XL per day. I will take the first pill tomorrow morning. I hope it doesn't make me more sleepy. I am dying for the energy and motivation to look forward to doing things. I read a lot of comments about how important it is to be patient with this med and give it time to work. So I am trying my best to do this. I will give the 150xl a week and then give an update. This forum really helps me express myself and I love the feedback from everyone. Thanks so much.

Hi sunshine,
You've given Wellbutrin a fair chance, that's for sure, and kept good notes for your Dr. One thing to consider is that if the dose is too low, your depression is not being impacted by the medication. If your depression is not being helped, you're still depressed, sleeping a lot, but hopeful-no real change. If he/she moves up your dose, don't be afraid. Sounds like your Dr is being very cautious. Good Luck.

Just an update: I have now been on Wellbutrin for 6 weeks.
4weeks of 75mg/day
2weeks of 150mg XL/day
I'm wondering if I can count all 6weeks or does the "counting game" start over when I switched to a higher dose?. Unfortunately I still don't feel better at all ;-( sometimes maybe even worse since I've started the med. I don't know what else to do except to keep waiting...
