I agree. And at night I take 600mg of Neurontin which helps me sleep without grinding my teeth. I do think that switching my dosing to 100% of my dose in the am has helped me sleep at night.

My problem is that, because I'm taking them 8 hours apart (as per the pharmacists instructions) the second dose ends up being, minimum, at the earliest 2 pm in afternoon, and this of course leaves me a little too "awake" at bedtime. Anyone out there taken there second wellbutrin sooner than the 8 hour mark or at unusual times?

Thanks for your comment. My understanding is that above a certain amount of wellbutrin at the same time would seriously increase the seizure risk. I don't think I would increase the 150mg to 300 mg all at once without asking my doc. But I seem to remember some posters doing that. I'll discuss the 200 mg amount with him the next time I see him. Thanks again.
