In reply to Wellbutrin - SLEEPY AND SEDATED - please help, posted by HOK on October 6, 2004, at 10:21:29
I had a similar problem with Wellbutrin XL. At 150 mg of the XL I was dragging through the day, so I started taking it in the evening. Then I found out it only maintained a fully-working concentration for 18-20 hours. 150 mg twice a
day worked much better, but my insurance doesn't allow for a 1/day pill being taken 2/day (twice the dose 1/day is no problem).At 300 mg Wellbutrin XL, the tiredness progressed to nodding off while driving in commuter traffic
even with the evening dosing. So, my pdoc added 5 mg adderall 1/day, and now 2/day. That made it possible to stay awake and focussed while driving or at work. My coworkers seem happier too.A side benefit is that my vasomotor rhinitis (at 30+ years and still annoying) is gone as long as I take the adderall at least 1/day.
