In reply to WellbutrinSR vs regular Wellbutrin-AGITATION, DOSE, posted by Janelle on August 11, 2001, at 17:57:17
Hi Janelle,
YES -- I have found that I have much less agitation on the non-SR form of Wellbutrin! Even if I take the same amount. I'm not sure why, but there is a definite difference.Hope this helps,
cindy> I'm still on my cocktail, doing well, and pdoc is having me slowly titrate up on Lamictal (finally reached 50 mg after WEEKS!), but a dear friend of mine who is too out of it to go on the computer recently went on WellbutrinSR for a recurrence of major depression after being off meds for about 7 years. Back then, she was treated successfully with 150 mg of "regular" Wellbutrin (SR wasn't around).

> Now, with each day she's been on 150mg of WellbutrinSR, she is getting WORSE in terms of agitation, restlessness, constant worry, paranoia and is saying some strange things.

> Could it be that she started at too high a dose of the WellbutrinSR and should switch to "regular" Wellbutrin so she can titrate up gradually? Or might the Wellbutrin not be working this time? Any responses/experiences with Wellbutrin greatly appreciated.
