J9, I remember that when I was on 150mg wellbutrin a day, I swore my father in my heart whole day. I became impolite and easily got angry.
By saying reducing the dosage to 75mg, I mean that you can suggest your husband to reduce the dosage by half, or remain on the same dosage by taking it every other day. Though the half-life of wellbutrin is just 21 hours, my experience tells me that the result of taking the med every other day is even better.
BTW, can anybody advise me that is the standard dosage of the medications developed in the US or Europe for Western people only? I am a Chinese man (from Hong Kong), I feel that I am enough with the half standard dosage of ad meds. I am now on 10mg Prozac, 75mg Wellbutrin a day. Is it usual that Asian people need just lower dosage?
Regards.
> Thank you for your input. Especially about the anger and hostility. Mu hubby experiences both of those. Maybe he needs to back down on his dosage. I will give him this info. Thanks again.
