The side effects can be pronounced for some on higher doses of Wellbutrin (Zyban). It soiunds like the dose is too high. I started on 100, went to 200, then ended up at 300 without any problems. I was on it for depession.
It seems as though they would also increase the dose slowly to stop smoking. I hope you called your doctor about this. Either you need to drop the dose or stop it. These drugs can have terrible side effects and the way to avoid that is by starting slowly especially if you are known sensitivity to any meds. This is how I have been able to tolerate new medications for depression.
IMHO, 300 mg is too high. Jitteriness is one the the most common side effects with Wellbutrin (Zyban).
Good luck.
