> For those who did not read the previous posts on this... I've been on it for 4.5 months, and I was fine, except for the last month or so where I developed an intense fatigue during the day. Then at night I had trouble to sleep. Now the sleep is fine, and my energy is much better during the day - I get up early in the morning! I used to sleep through my stopping the alarm clock and then continue to sleep until I realized it was late and I had wasted part of my day. Then at night I needed zaleplon to fall asleep. No matter what I tried during that month, it didn't help. Until my doc suggested I change the timing of my dose intake. How about them apples? So no Wellbutrin addition for now.

Hi Sid,That happened to me when I was taking Zoloft. I would take it faithfully in the morning and within a few hours -YAWN!, then I would be wirey later in the day. I started to take it at bedtime as an experiment and I slept a little better and was less drowsy the next day.
