Interesting. I only took 10 mg. I took it at dinnertime at first, then would head into my office to work (I did weird hours), and whammo. At 10 pm I'd become so overwhelmed with fatigue that it was all I could do to stand up, put on my jacket and drive the 2 miles or so back home. Then my doctor said to take it a little later, that four hours was about the magic number, and that worked out okay.
That's great that you didn't experience too many side effects. I did like it - it was so helpful and I had relatively few side effects. Till the bipolarity of my depression made itself known, but oh well. Some of my friends have done *really* well with it.

> I took Paxil starting 7 years ago, before the slow release version. Took 40mgs/day. I found it best to take at night in the begining. I think it helped alot w/ side effects. I didnt experience too many side effects. Then I would take half at night, half in morning. eventually all 40mgs in the morning. Experiment. Everyone's body is different. Paxil worked **great** for me. But I love Wellbutrin :)
