It's funny you should mention that. A few weeks ago my doctor increased my dosage of Wellbutrin from 300mg per day (150mg-SR) twice per day to 400mg (I took 100mg in the morning with my first 150mg dosage)per day. I was going through some major life changes and he thought increasing the dosage for a few weeks would help. Within a day or two my left eye started twitching,even while asleep. It was so annoying and uncontrollable. Then my right pinky started to tremor. That for me was the last straw. I called my psychiatrist and he told me to go back to my 300mg of Wellbutrin. I haven't had a muscle tremors/twitches since.

As for depakote I just couldn't function. I was sleepy and foggy all the time. Getting stuck by a needle monthly wasn't fun either (smile). I eventually became Jaundice from the depakote, so they took me off.

From what you are telling me, I'm thinking that you may want to lower your dosage of Wellbutrin. See if that is the culprit. Have you ever tried Lithium at night instead of depakote?
