I have been taking Wellbutrin SR for three and a half weeks. I was taking 150mg in the am and 150 in the early afternoon. I get a lot of energy, which is great - I needed it. I am somewhat hyper and my mind races. I have trouble sleeping at night, and am playing around with different meds. I thought it was causing my hair to fall out, but maybe not. Also, I wasn't comfortable with all the different sleep meds I've been trying. Yesterday I dropped the pm dose, took an epsom salt bath and an Ambien, and slept pretty well. I was able to fall back asleep three times after being woken up - once when a painting fell off my wall with a crash. Once when my teenage son fell down the stairs (did not ge hurt). And once when my husband closed a door loudly. That is really good for me. WB or not, I have insomnia.
So, the energy is great. As far as the depression, I still feel down about myself and I still cry and get emotional. But, I have just survived a battle with breast cancer, so realistically, I should be depressed and I don't know how much I can expect an AD to do. It has gotten me up and going though, so I am going to stick with it a little longer.
Sorry for the ramble. Good Luck.
