Hi:
In my case, when I was on 300 mg. Wellbutrin SR, only bad/side-effect was 'dizziness' that occurred in the half-way on the road, then it made me 'REALLY' scared. Afterwards, I NEVER took that dosage, 300 mg. WB. To be honest and frank, however the 300 mg. WB gave me almost 'Normal' state with a lot of energy and motivation along with 'good concentration.' Hence, I truly miss that amount of dosage, however on the otherhand, I can NOT take any risk, such as reckless driving due to 'dizzy spell' experiencing on 300 mg. WB. That's my conclusion on WB and for this, I am quite happy!In your case, there is some more 'serious' going on as reading your description on WB. In my suggestion, try to lower down to 100 mg.-150 mg. that may NOT get tremendous 'bad-reaction' from WB. Besides this, if you're 'seizure tendency'(or someone in your family has, ...), then you might get seizure symptoms. I agree with your pdoc., however eating 'sodium-rich' foods,.... is it REALLY helping on your newly developing symptoms?
I take Lithium 900 mg., then in my system, there is a pleny of 'sodium,' that in turn might counteract WB's bad/side effect? I have no clue on this, ... but the best place for you to find a good solution on this is to go to your pdoc. and talk with him/her face to face, I believe. Just phone-conversation seems NOT enough to find appropriate answer to your worry/concern.
H.G.
