Hi
As blueberry suggested, I stopped taking Wellbutrin to go with Ixel. Started on wednesday 25 mg at noon and same amount at night. Still found it hard to tolerate daytime dose so, have been changed to 50mg once at night along with Ativan 2mg. (Nausea and lightheadedness are troublesome if it is not mixed with Ativan. I read it somewhere Ativan has some anti-emetic properties)
Today, it seems like paradoxical worsening of depression (the most troublesome) has been lessening and I am bit okay. This is the fifth day on it. I know there is a long way to go. But my concern is of the half-life of this drug. It shows 8 hours only which means I have to dose it at least twice a day. I am okay with once at night dosing. But is it necessary to take twice daily? Are there patients who take it all at once and feeling well?
Awaiting your responses.
