Judith,

Which Wellbutrin are you taking? Are you taking the time release?

Also did you swallow the pill or crush it?

I kinda don't know how to navigate here....

Wellbutrin 150 mg no time release.

I broke the pill in smaler bits, was that wrong?

JJ,

The time release version cannot be taken in small bits but the

regular can. That's why I asked. The reason the time release

cannot be cut up or crushed is that too much medicine is absorbed at

once.

Did you take it on an empty stomach? You may want to try it with

food. Maybe crush it up and mix with some juice rather than swallow

little bits.

What about the extended release?

I am so sorry to hear you are having a difficult time. Was it a panic attack?

And I am sure that it freaked you out, it would me too. Can they put you on a

different med that you can tolerate better?
