>Treatment with Wellbutrin or Zyban is actually initiated at the target dosage of 300mg. With Zoloft, I doubt you would need to reduce that by more than half, so you should be okay at 150mg. You should cut the tablets in half and take 75mg twice a day, as Zyban is equivalent to Wellbutrin SR (not XL).
Ok, thanks for that update, it's certainly an option.
I just came back from my appointment. We decided to swap nortrip with sertralin(generic, it costs 10e/100st, Zoloft costs 64e/100st), as I wanted. I'm keeping my Lamictal dosage at 100mg. Since bupropion is only marketed as Zyban for smoking cessation here, I asked him about it. He said he had never heard of Wellbutrin and the use of bupropion as an AD. I informed/updated him with some articles I had with me and he agreed to let me try it in the future if the rem+ser+lam combo isn't successful.
He said I had probably more knowledge about psychopharmacology than most doctors here, I'm not sure wheather I should laugh or not./Mattias
