I'm back on immediate release Wellbutrin, 100mg 3x day.
I'll be switching to 150mg 2x day in the next day or two I hope, if I can tolerate it.But I'm having really nasty light-sensitivity headaches. I don't remember if I had these when I started Wb the first time and they faded off.
I do know they were fairly common when I was taking 400mg/day IR.Does anyone know if this'll fade off? I didn't get them at all on SR.

Yuppers, same here. A day or two after I posted, they stopped. :)
I haven't gone back to 150 2x day yet tho, my doc forgot to note it in my file and she's only in one day each wk, so I had to deal with other people who are a REAL headache!!sl

hi lady :-)
whenever i changed my dose even a little bit on i.r. i got the weird eye thing/headache thing that you mentioned. in fact, now that i think about it, whenever i do anything to change the amount of meds going in and out of my system, this is the effect that i get. (i also take benzos as needed) i'm sensitive that way it seems. but a few days on the routine and i'm fine. it's when i deviate from the routine that i get that eye/headache thing. take care, terra
