Re: [ossg-grads2vegas] Fw: Wellbutrin

[Guest guest]

Thanks to all for your suggestions and advice. Seems like there are many of us

in this sleepless boat!!

I've been taking one 150mg at about 7am and the other no later than 5pm. My

doctor said to take about 8 hours apart. I take my evening meds (ativan,

calcium) at about 11pm, in bed by midnight, if I'm lucky asleep by 1ish, first

start waking around 4, toss and turn waking every 5-10 minutes till 5 or 6 and

out of bed by 6, 6:30 at the latest.

That makes for a very long or short night counting on how you look at it. I've

even tried taking an ambien when I wake at 4 but that doesn't do a thing either.

Hopefully once this wellbutrin gets to whatever level in my system I'll adjust

and be able to sleep again. On week 2 now....I've heard it gets better during

week 3. Hope so!

Re: [ossg-grads2vegas] Fw: Wellbutrin

I was told not to take my wellbutrin in the evening for just this reason. I

take 150 mg in the AM when I wake up and 150 mg in the early afternoon and that

seems to work.

We have already won when we believe it in our hearts.
