So my wife finally took the 37.5 mg dose for a week and is now back on the 75 mg dose. Her complaint is that she's a zombie (with only occasional shakes now) until about 2-3 pm the next day. I talked her into taking it a bit earlier in the evening, 6PM. But this didn't help. Her doc had her cut the Wellbutrin to a quarter dose too (she was on a half dose, 75 mg). She almost fell down the stairs today and off a ladder yesterday. She can't leave the house because she's afraid to drive. She told me that she'd rather be depressed than go through this any longer. Her doc says it takes time but in the meantime this is MAKING her depressed! Any thoughts from anyone. Wellbutrin never affected her like this. Maybe a full dose of Wellbutrin would have been better as she never did try that.
