I've been on Wellbutrin XL for 4 months or so now. I was taking very low dose of Elavil (amitryptaline)at night for poor sleep (10mg). I've taken low dose Elavil for about 4 years. However I thought the Wellbutrin XL may be enhancing the Elavil's sedative effect so I cut Elavil to 5mg at night. STILL got sleepy during the day after taking Wellbutrin XL so I stopped the Elavil completely. I was hoping I'd notice more energy from the Wellbutrin XL. I take it in the morning and within several hours I'm so tired I could put my head in my lap! Aside from being so tired on Wellbutrin XL it does help improve my mood and racing thoughts, I also deal better with stress. Some friends have told me Wellbutrin SR may work better for me. Think I should try SR instead of XL? I'd like to know if anyone else has this exhausted tired effect from Wellbutrin XL? I had GREAT energy from the XL the first 2 weeks I took it and after that I've been nothing but TIRED. Thanks for any input.
