Tony, sounds like you are having normal adjustment period to Wellbutrin. Good thing your doc is giving you a benzo with it. It is not unusual to have hypothermia, especially in hands and feet, on WB. I don't know why. I highly recommend B.I.D dosing of 150 SR at the time you get up, and about 6-7 hours later. I have had real problems taking it anytime after 8 hours or so. This does not necessarily fall in line with medical recommendations of at least 8 hours between dosing, but I believe that is mostly "hangover" from the seizure risk school of teaching. Keep your benzo at all costs! I don't know about seratonin syndrome, but I don't think WB would affect that, as it is only a very weak inhibitor of seratonin reuptake, working more on dopamine.
