In reply to starting dose for wellbutrin???, posted by bart on August 12, 2000, at 8:31:43
> anybody know what the usual starting dose is for Wellbutrin?
Bart - Normal starting adult dose of Wellbutrin SR is 150mg daily for 3 to 7 days, depending on how sensitive one is to the med (ie how much the drug causes activation or jitteriness in a particular person). I needed a week before I was able to increase the dose to 150mg twice daily. It was almost like drinking a 3 litre (approx. 3 quarts) of Coca-Cola or a couple pots of coffee when I tried to increase the dose after 3 days. Always best to go low and slow.
Hope this helps - Cam
