In reply to Success w/Wellbutrin-sr above 300mg/day?, posted by jasonr on January 29, 2004, at 10:44:42
Hi Jason:
The 400 mg. Wellbutrin SR certainly gave me 'a lot of motivation,' 'energy' and etc. that non-M.I. folks normally have in order to survive in this society. However, after two or three weeks on this dosage, I started experiencing a sort of 'dizziness' that occurred when I was behind the wheels, ... almost even started losing the track of thoughts to drive back home. After this incident, although it happened ONLY ONCE, ... but I immediately went back to the old-dosage, 300 mg. WB. Since then, things have been usual and quite calming down. BTW, as for Bipolar II, I've been on other med., not WB alone regimen. Then, in your case, if there is WB med. alone, ... things might be a bit different, ... but overall, at recommended dosage of WB is to be around 300 mg. - 350 mg.
Besides this above, if you'd feel depression even on WB 300 mg., you may ask one more Anti-dep. like some calming type of AD, on your next pdoc.s appt.
In my knowledge, mono-AD therapy(single AD) not able to alleviate symptoms if your depression is serious form.
