You could go up to 450mg maybe? Back in the early days they even went as high as 600mg. Unless it's the wellbutrin itself that's making you depressed? I'm thinking though that even if you did raise the dose and it worked, that it could eventually lose effect at that dose too.

Maybe this is one of those situations where just a little of something else added in might turbocharge it and keep it working good. I know it sounds weird, but I would consider adding in Kira brand st johns wort (LI160, the same one used in clinical studies). It will boost what wellbutrin is already doing..norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibition...and add in some serotonin and GABa reuptake inhibition as well. Though anything psychiatric related can cause weight gain, sjw isn't known for that generally.

In my experience, sjw can have nice effects in just a couple days, or even the first day, and then it tends to fade but comes back slowly but nicely over about a 4 to 8 week period.

Just an idea. In your situation, that's what I would do myself. Actually, that's what I have done with good results. It's cheap, my doc says it's safe, and it's easy to try.
