> Hey Cam- you always make sense! Thanks for the tips. The doc just increased me to 200mg per day starting on sunday. so, that's 1 tab 2x per day. she has me taking a dose at bedtime anf then i take a dose during the day 12 hours later she prefers, so that would be 9am. maybe that won't work, but i guess i won't know until i try. how many mg do you take??? have you been on it awhile? what do you like about it? I noticed one day I was incredibly focused on my work(a little irritable) but nonetheless focused incredibly so. so far that hasn't happened again. I know the dose of 100mg is very low, but I am a hyper sensitive to drugs so i am babied withthe dosage...better safe than sorry. Pleas e, if you have time, let me know your thoughts about wellbutrin. celexa took away compulsive thinking and social anxiety, will wellbutrin even touch that given it is affecting a different nuero thingy? Sorry, but the scientific part gets me every time. Mucho, much thank yous....

> 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).

> 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).
