In reply to Wellbutrin insomniac, posted by grendel on September 7, 2001, at 3:44:00
for me the insomnia went away after about 5-6 weeks, although i seem to need less sleep now than in most other periods of my life. for example, 3/4/5 hours for a couple of days in a row and i feel fine, whereas before the last major depression one night of 4 hours sleep and i was wiped for a couple of days. anyway, i've seen folks suggest taking the second dose early in the day. . .it doesn't seem to make any difference whether i take it at 3pm or 8pm. (and the sleep that i do get is great!)
> I've started taking Wellbutrin, and this is my 5th day on the drug. I've been having few side effects - the weight loss is great, and noticeable already. The insomnia, however, is killing me. The only way I can get any sleep at all is to knock myself out with several Klonopin. Is this insomnia common with Wellbutrin? Does it go away?
> I know next to nothing about this drug - I don't know what to expect.
