iaawal Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 So I noticed that ever since I started taking the wellbutrin I crash later in the day. I take it in the morning and by 1 or 2PM I'm crashing. I'm getting enough sleep and it's not related to coffee or sugar intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I noticed that you are taking 150mg. I think that the usual therapeutic dose is 300mg. Maybe you could talk to your doctor about switching to the 300XL, or taking the 150SR twice a day. Also, are you on one of the generics? It might be that the release mechanism with that particular brand isn't working properly. I thought that all the drug companies corrected that problem, but it was a big issue 6 or 7 years ago with the Teva version. Your best bet is to get in to see your pdoc as soon as possible. olga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaawal Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yeah I'm on the generic. I will call my pdoc tomorrow to see if she can make changes. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaawal Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Pdoc said to take 150 in the AM and 150 in the afternoon. Hope this solves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I bet it will. Bupropion is an effective AD for a lot of people. Give it some time to kick in. olga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equivilency Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The 150 was probably wearing off. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaawal Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks you guys! Now I'm crashing at 5PM. Oh well, at least it's starting to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carly Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Sorry to crash this post, but I just started taking bupropion today, 150 mg. I am prone to migraines and about half an hour after taking my dose this morning, I got a terrible headache - not sure if it was from the med or just having a migraine day. Also, I could BARELY eat lunch, and even after I did, I had terrible stomach issues. Also got very sleepy midday. Just wanted someone to compare notes with.

olga Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Carly, it's perfectly okay to start your own thread about WB in this forum. Put something in the title about your symptoms and you will probably get responses from some of our members. olga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigsawtooth Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hi! I had the same crashing situation in the afternoon until i started taking my bupropion / wellbutrin at night and the crashing doesnt happen any more! It helps me get up in the morning actually. Can you try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaawal Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 I switched to the SR and no longer crash. But glad that helped you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
