jacquie - The insomnia from Wellbutrin does subside within the first month. I find that I will still have trouble sleeping if I take my afternoon Wellbutrin after 4pm. (Remember, you should take Wellbutrin SR doses at least 8h apart, so you have to take your morning dose before 8am).

I don't know if the insomnia, in these instances, is due to effects of the Wellbutrin or is due to my anticipation of the 'potential' effects of the Wellbutrin.

Wellbutrin-mediated insomnia will "feel different" from Celexa-mediated insomnia. Each of these drugs acts at a number of neurotransmitters receptor sites. I heard someone describe the SSRI-induced insomnia to have a "heavier feel" to it (decreased cognition due too high of a dose?) than the Wellbutrin-induced insomnia (more of a "pins & needles'-type of feel).

Hope this makes some sense - Cam
