I started taking Wellbutrin XL for depression a little over a week ago. This is the first time I've ever taken an AD. My doctor had me start with 150 mg for seven days, and then move up to 300 mg. I am now on day two of the 300 mg. The first couple of days, I felt pretty good. After that, I've pretty much felt nauseated every day. I had dry mouth for a couple days, but that seems to have mostly gone away. However, I still feel horrible physically. The intensity of the nausea decreased some over days four-six, but is now pretty consistent. I don't know exactly how the extended release works, but the effects seem to really kick in around 11:00 and last until early evening. I haven't felt any effects on my mood yet, but I realize it's probably too soon for that. The feeling sick is really wearing me down though. I plan on talking to my doc in the morning, but I don't know if I've given my body enough time to adjust. Is it too soon to expect side effects to have cleared up?
