"Is this a normal response to ADs?
Wellbutrin 300mg 6 weeks
pdoc is saying weak extremities (esp. legs) is not possible side effect.
Motivaton is good, the limb weakness is overwhelming at times.
I would like to ride it out, but would like to hear if this is common."
Perhaps your dosage is too high. Sometimes doctors need help in figuring out the best dose. I sometimes cut my pills in half before I start on a new pill. If the side effects are tolerable and I am receiving some benefit, then I continue with the medication and slowly increase the dosage if necessary. My brother was helped tremendously by Wellbutrin but had to discontinue it due to side effects (which I will not discuss here).p.s. The SR version of Wellbutrin can be very hard to withdraw from.
Thank you for posting and the best to you as always.
