Me too - you've lots of company! I can tolerate 50-75mg Wellbutrin a day with 10mg Valium, 100 is really pushing it, but I still feel shaky and have trouble sleeping on the low doses. It's a shame, because I like the good effects - more enthusiasm, pleasure, even joy - I actually gained weight on it (most people drop) because I got my appetite back!

As someone else said, you can't get anything less than 100 mg SR (no non-SR in Canada at least), so I used a pill splitter. One comment: I've heard you should use the split as soon as possible - not split a whole bunch ahead of time - as some coated meds deteriorate quickly when exposed to air.

> I couldn't agree more. I have never been able to get above 50 mgs Wellbutrin SR (My Pdoc said it's ok to split the tablet). Anytime, I have tried to titrate up to 100 mgs or even 75mgs. I am so PARALYZED by anxiety it is ridiculous. My Pdoc said this would go away in a week or so but it was so bad that I could not make it through one day feeling like that. I though I was the only one who experienced that side effect because several people I know rave about Wellbutrin.
