I started out on 2x50mg, and I noticed even the first dose's effect, and it was pleasant. Now I am on 150mg XR, once a day, and I find that it made me anxious and even depressed. I have anger, too. The anxiety appears toward the end of the day, or even in the middle of the night if I wake up (last two days I did). I thought maybe the anxiety appears because the effect of the med weenes by then. However, maybe I am overdosing?! But it does seem to be the case that if I take another 150mg in the evening, the anxiety subsides. However, I didn't have anxiety before I started to take this thing. "Only" malaise, extreme sensitivity to noise shyness and general lack of coping skills.
Now should I increase or decrease my dose? Cut it into half?The whole thing baffles me, because initially I reacted so well to Wellbutrin. Although it is also true that in the middle I stopped taking my 5HTP, because I thought I didn't need it any more. Now I resumed it but still feeel lousy.
