Hi,
I'm only taking 75mgs of Wellbutrin 3 times per day. Eventually I will start on the time release pills. Perhaps, you could take a lower dose.
I, too, have trouble with agitation or anxiety within the first couple hours after taking Wellbutrin. But the neurotin tames the wellbutrin and I can actually use the energy.
When I took neurotin by itself I was slurring my words with 300mgs and for some inexplicable reason I experienced sharp shooting pains in my hip which stopped when I discontinued the neurotin.
But when I added the wellbutrin to the neurotin, I was no longer slurring my speech and the weird hip/joint pain hasn't reoccured.
Sometimes I feel euphoric - a bit like really good acid (I took a bunch in the early 70's).
Sorry if this is disjointed. Sometimes I feel such detachment it's hard to put two words together. Again, alot like acid. Maybe the wellbutrin/neurotin tag team is wrestling with the residue.
This is great. But I don't recommend LSD for depression. Not many old acidheads that are still coherent. However, when I was young and in despair, good clean LSD gave me relief.
Sorry I got off the subject.
Hope the wellbutrin and neurotin work for you.
