Wellbutrin 150 mg XR every other day? I was wondering if anyone has tried this dose every other day?

Hi, Phyllis!
How about a slight decrease in your daily dosage? Have you talked to your doctor about your side effects?

I’ve been on many different antidepressants most my adult life. The Bupropion XL has worked in combination with Lexapro 20 and trazodone 50 for sleep. However over time I’ve been feeling jittery-pressure-like side effects. (Might be that I’m 75. ) At any rate I want to see how it goes with taking it every other day. I’ll confer with my Psyc practitioner and make another post in a month.

Hello PhyllisGail. I read your delema? in as much as all the energy, that you have as a result from the wellbutrin. I was on wellbutrin some years ago. 300mg. stopped it, only as much as it really did nothing, in helping me. I've depression and its refractory. But, I'm always keen to learn about how psychiatric drugs work (especially ones that I've also been on at one time or another) with other people. And its the wellbutrin giving you this energy, I've not yet (or if I did, can't remember or recall) wellbutrin effecting a person as it does/has in your case. I know you're on 150mg and that surprises me, all the energy. As to splitting the dose, well, you might, and if you see you're falling back into a depressed state, go back to your daily routine. Sorry not more helpfull, in as much as your dose is low, and its what I might call a maintenace one. There are several other members here who will probably beable to give a more helpfull answer, to your problem. best wishes to you.
