I am fine taking up to 200mg of Wellbutrin. I love the Wellbutrin 150XL, but I needed more. My doc bumped me up to the next level - 300mg XL, which made me a zombie. I could barely function I was so exhausted. I took two naps a day and tried to consume my body weight in caffine. When I talked to my doctor about it, he seemed shocked. (I wonder if they ever read about the drugs they perscribe?!). He said to stick with it and maybe the sleepiness would wear off. I couldn't do that. I have a job I need to be at and alert!
I asked to be taken down to 200mg SR. I don't like the SR as much - the XL is nice and smooth, but they don't make 200XL!
200 SR a day works pretty good without the sleepiness. Makes me anxious, but not depressed. Keep trying - you'll find a dose that works.
