> Wellbutrin set my head on fire, literally.. I think it produced some sort of redness and my OCD was off the roof with nighttime ruminations, after about a few years. If one were to take 600mg of it, I would first only take SR or XR and then add at least 1 if not 2 or more mg of Klonopin or the equivalent of your favourite benzodiazepine with antiseizure properties. The seizure potential just sounds too great.
In 1983, I participated in an open label clinical trial of Wellbutrin. Back then, the dosage range used was 600-900mg. I can't remember how long I was on 900mg for, but there was never any mention of a risk of seizure. I think that became an issue some years later during a clinical trial of Wellbutrin to treat bulimia. These people were more at risk, presumbably because of abnormalities in electrolytes. I doubt that very much attention would have been paid to siezures had they never conducted that investigation.Although I doubt it would be very helpful to prevent a seizure, I am taking Lamictal 150mg.
