Hi Martha,
I also experienced an increase in my energy levels for the first couple of days, much exacebated by drinking Coffee!!! It was kind of crazy, I couldn't sit still.

Are you on regular Wellbutrin or the SR formulation?

Thanks for all the info. I've never been on medication like this. I'm on the SR and now taking 2 tablets @150mg per day. This is my 3rd day of taking the 2 tablets. The doctor said if I experience nervousness or "jittery" I should take only one per day.
BUT... the thing is, it's almost like it's taking my typical nervous energy that I always had and making it more even throughout the day. IS THAT POSSIBLE, or is it all "in my head". Cause if it is, I love this stuff!
Thanks SO much for this info,
MarthaM
