Hi: Your experience sounds very interesting. Double check all of your other medications to make sure that the Wellbutrin SR isn't increasing the effects to make you more tired. In my situation the first 3 weeks of taking Wellbutrin XL I had instant energy, almost too much. I went from peeling myself out of bed at 8:45am (my usual) to waking up at 5am bright eyed and bushy tailed! Now, I'm back to waking up later and I do not have the energy I had when I started. Next week I'll switch from XL to SR to see if it will help. I have fibromyalgia and have chronic pain too, THIS has really helped that pain. It also has allowed me to get off of Elavil which I think is amazing. The elavil I used to need to go to sleep at night but for me... by 8pm I'm exhausted and ready to put my head in my lap. I used to stay up until 2am beause I couldn't sleep (before wellbutrin). By the way I was up to the regular 300mg doseage but had to cut down to 150mg because the 300mg tended to make me very easily angered and aggro. And THAT is not me!
Let me know how it goes!
