> what about starting the xl on 150mg once a day? I am out of the 150 sr.

It has been my experience with Wellbutrin that the side-effects can be tolerated if you build up slowly, like 2 x 100mg SR a day for two weeks, then 2 x 150mg a day. Whenever my (old) doctor started me on 2 x 150mg SR I had awful insomnia and snapped at people all the time. It was so weird: my kids would be doing something annoying that I'd usually be patient about for a while, but when I started WB with a highest dose from the get-go my irritability would ramp up in seconds and I'd snap at them. This would be so bad I'd stop taking WB. But I digress...

So, sure in my opinion, 150mg XL for a couple weeks, then 300mg XL should be tolerable.
