Hey Ed,
I'm a moderate smoker so 100-150 may do the trick. As far as anxiety is concerned, Wellbutrin has caused me to be a bit jittery before, but then agian I took it alone without an SSRI for over 2 years. With an SSRI to augment may be even better. I'm hoping Wellbutrin will help when I get those problems where I have a lack of pleasure in anything,that alone causes despair. As far as the APS are concerned, I worship Zyprexa for its sedating properties, and as an emergency med. IF things are starting to get really whacked, I pop a 2.5 with extra trileptal and I'm out. Seems like a "game over-reset the program" button essentially and I'm very grateful for it, but if I take it too long, akathisia sets in. I naturally am a fidgety foot tapper, which is indicative of dopamine irregularities, hence a good old cigarrette or wellbutrin is a welcome addition :)> Hi Chris!
