That is odd. I take mine twice daily too, 150SR at a time. I always forget the second dose if I try to go 8 hrs, so I take it 4-6 hrs apart, tho.
I wouldn't worry too much about seizures, if I were you. If you're not prone to them already it's unlikely. At one point I was taking 200mg immediate release, twice/day, and it never did any harm. I've heard of people taking 600+mg of Wellbutrin, and if you think about it, they must be taking it in doses of 200-300mg at a time.
I'm curious as to whether you're taking SR or immediate release. I'm taking SR and finding I don't respond as well as I did to immediate release.

PS regarding your original weight-loss question, I didn't drop much weight, the appetite suppressant effect wore off on me. FYI.

> I checked with the Doctor's office and they insist that I should take the 300 mg. all at once in the morning. If I don't start seeing results soon, I may try to split up the dose like you. (I sure don't want a seizure--I read the package insert too!!)
