In reply to Just started Wellbutrin - what is going on!?!?!?, posted by Peter on July 11, 2001, at 18:56:32
Yup. That's how it works. You have to adjust. I'm currently doing it myself, going BACK on wellbutrin after 2-3 months off. All you can do is pour the energy into something constructive, and try not to have too many people around cuz sometimes you may be irritable.
It will probably fade off after a little while, if it doesn't and you don't like that feeling, you could ask your doctor to put you on the sustained-release version which doesn't do that as much.sl
> I started Wellbutrin 6 days ago. I didn't feel anything until today (my 2nd day of 100 mg dose). It all began when I started exercising at the gym. I started feeling really wierd - very charged up but also spacey at the same time - nervous and drunk feeling. My hand-eye coordination got a little out of sync. These wierd feelings have stayed with me throughout the day. I'm just really spacey, energetic (sometimes feel like I'm going to burst out of my skin), and I've had some waves of nausea. I saw my doctor today, and he said to just hang in there and stay on the 100mg pill each day, instead of upping it to 150mg (2x75), which was the original plan. He said if the side-effects wear off, I might get beneficial effects from only 100mg per day. But man, this feels wierd. I also take 875mg depakote at night and a total of .75 to 1.25 mg klonopin each day (history of panic, SP,hypomania, and depressive episodes). I've tried SRI's, but they tend to produce cravings for drugs/alcohol in me. Anyone been through anything similar or have any suggestions? Thanks.
