In reply to Wellbutrin and insomnia/panic attack, posted by Jim on March 3, 2000, at 10:33:53
My doctor added 100 mg Wellbutrin to my 45 mg Remeron last June when I became obsessed with suicide. Things leveled off then got bad again before the holidays. He doubled the dose to 200 in October and knocked the Remeron down to 30 mg. I don't recall a problem at first, but within the last few months have been annoyed by a racing mind, and feelings akin to being a gerbil on a wheel. I complained, so my doctor suggested changing from taking 200 mg in the morning to 100mg in the a.m. and 100 in the afternoon. The other choice was halving the dose. I have found splitting the dose has helped and have chosen to continue this course. I also have noticed bright usually yellow flashes of light when I close my eyes at night and try to go to sleep. They have been more of a curiosity than an annoyance. Hope this helps.
