Hi: I'm really glad you mentioned this and wrote back. I decided to cut out the very low dose Elavil (amitryptaline) at night because I thought the Wellbutrin XL was enhancing or more than doubling the effects of the Elavil. SO... I'm STILL tired on XL! I take it first thing in the morning and by about 7:00pm at night I could just fall asleep standing up just about. This isn't like me. I usually don't go to sleep until after midnight. I will definitely ask my doc about trying the SR. Thank you so much for your input! It's SOoooo appreciated.
> I wrote a huge message and I think I lost it. I will write again, but yes yes yes! I am exhausted on Wellbutrin XL. Pay attention to this. My therepist has seen clinical evidence of sleep problems with XL--specifically not getting deep REM sleep. She has seem improvement in patients who changed to Wellbutrin SR, as long as they took the dose or 2nd dose by late afternoon so that when it wears off in 8 or so hours when you are asleep--you have the chance to really sleep.
