Hello everyone, I'm new
I've been taking Wellbutrin XL, 150mg. My doctor just changed
the dosage to 300mg. I'm curious to know how people's
experience has been with the change.
I almost wish I was on SR or immediate release version just so I
can slowly adjust to the larger dose. I did pretty well when I first
started on wellbutrin, no increased anxiety despite having anxiety
problems.. but I've been reading that peole had more side effects
on higer dosage.. I'd love to hear some of your experiences.
Thanks!

Hi, I've been on Welbutrin XL 300mg for about a year and have no side affects at all! Did you have side affects when you first started taking Welbutrin? Lori

I'm on 300mg now and have much better focus and energy
but more muscle pain. I'm hoping this goes away.
I didn't notice too much side effects on 150mg, although my
tinnitus is much more noticeable. That doesn't bug me too
much, I've had tinnitus all my life.. I might get a sound
machine tto mask the tinnitus so I can fall asleep without
listening to that annoying high pitched squeal.
So far, so good..

I am also on Wellbutrin as well as another antidepressant - generic Celexa (which I have had no problems with at all) but I also take anti-anxiety medication which tends to make me sleepy so it may mask any side effects from the Wellbutrin.
