Wellbutrin SR once a day

Posted by Sonya on September 22, 2005, at 13:02:38

My pdoc just upped my Wellbutrin SR from 150mg every morning to 225mg every morning. I read that single doses should not exceed 150mg! I also read that beyond 150mg, doses should be divided into twice a day dosing.

I also take 500mg Depakote at night.

I generally trust my pdoc but I'm worried about his dosing instructions. Any input?

I took that once and I'm pretty sure it came in a 300 mg pill, so one could assume its okay to take that much at once. If I didn't trust my dr to know, I'd call a pharmacy and ask if they had a stregth above what he wanted me to take. If they do then you're cool, cause surely they're meant to be taken that way. Good luck!

I believe they say to split the dose into two times when it exceeds 300mg(?)Not positive. I never new you could take that dose? Do they have 25 mg tablets now?
If you are worried Id ask the pharmacist.
