I decided to quit this trial of Wellbutrin. Was totally paranoid, obsessive, anxious, etc. I think this has something to do with the fact that the doc started me off immediately on 300mg/day. The theory was that since it pooped out before, maybe a higher dose would benifit me. I still think I should have tapered onto it. Anyway, after I turned into a major freakshow, I halfed my dose, but still couldn't take it. Back to Serzone. Feeling better.
> I am sorry that no one has responded. I found WB was very stimulating for me. I went for days without sleeping. I wonder if WB is a good choice for a recovering alcoholic. The alcohol rebound effect makes anxiety an issue anyway. I am no authority, but it seems Trazodone might be a better choice.
> As I have gotten older small doses of caffeine tend to have a paradoxical effect. I am calmer and sleepy instead of wired. Maybe the WB is too adrenergic for you and you need something else maybe with more dopiminergic effect. WB is supposed to have quite a bit of Dopiminergic effect but it pooped out fairly early for me and the ADD symptoms came back with a vengeance.
