Thanks Ed and Kara. I am going to stick it out at 100mg and see how it goes. I think 100mg is the lowest does available for the SR version, which is what the pdoc prescribed. If the agitation gets too bad, I have Xanax that I can take, so it's not a big deal. I had raised the possibility of seizures with the pdoc since I am taking both nort and wellbutrin, but he said at the doses I am taking and the fact that I don't have history of seizures, it is not a big concern. I so hope that I respond well to the Wellbutrin. I am getting frustrated with false starts (feel like I am having a good response, only to have it drop off to a partial response). UGH!! I am becoming a whiner :-( I just want to be myself again, and I don't think that is too much to ask. Oh well, I will try to maintain a positive attitude.
Take care you two.
