I am on the sr, 2 times a day at 150 mg. I lost weight and I sleep pretty well if I take it and go right to bed. If I take it and then stay up doing this and that...I will be up for a little longer than I want. I havent tried the xl... Good luck.

Oh yes, I too have a small frame. I am 5'0..I know!

I have been on and off of wellbutrin for a few years now.. And I have also been on sleep med's too.. I never thought that the wellbutrinwas the reason I couldnt sleep. When I lowered my dose I was able to sleep finallly but now I just started with the 150 sr twice a day as well.. And im not sure how I will react.. I guess I will see tonite. I am taking it a 6am and 3pm for now.. I know it should be 12 hours btwn..But my pharmacist said I could do this so that it isnt close to bed.. I may try it like you though if I cant sleep..Taking it before bed.. And then early in the afternoon.. Around 10-11 depending on the tme I go to sleep..?? Not sure. As for my weight.. I was losing alot of weight and it scared me.. My Dr. Was beginning to think I was anorexic.. I guess I will just monitor it and keep snacks around. I do notice im not that hungry or I dont eat as much when I take the higher dose.. Oh well.. Thanks for your reply.. I'd love to chat with you off line ?? I have never really talked to anyone else that understood what im dealing with.. If you'd like you can email me..

Yeah, I dont know about taking that at 3pm. Neither of the doctors I ever had seen on wellbutrin instructed that. You should follow what your doctor says, not the pharmasist. You doctor knows you. I am 18, and I have been on wellbutrin sr for about 2...Actually 3 years now. At first, the side effects are noticable. The ones in regards to weight loss. I couldnt eat when I took mine, but eventually I could. I don't think I would trade wellbutrin in for anything! Eventually I am gonna try and wean off because I believe god can heal me from depression, but for now I am happy where I am. Wellbutrin did help me lose a good amount of weight. The higher the dose, the more you lose...Start out small or you will be sorry. Nausea will kick your tail! You didnt give me an e-amil addy!!

sorry, I dont know why I thought you could see it?

Faithingod, if you were diabetic, would you say, "i'm going to wean myself of my insulin injections because i'm going to pray to god to heal me from diabetes?" depression is a chemical imbalence! You wouldn't tell a diabetic to pray to god so that her pancreas would start to make insulin, so don't think that you can start to make neurotransmitters on your own by praying to god. Depression, just like diabetes, is a medical condition due to the lack of chemicals in the body. You faith certainly can help you deal with the fact that you suffer from depression, but don't just think that praying is going to heal you from a chemical imbalence.

Anyone experiencing weight loss. My dosage was up to 150MG x 2 and I've loss at least 6 pounds in the last month. Is this normal?

I take 300mg in the morning and at night I take 2 benedrill to sleep. Works like a charm and much healthier for you liver than Tylenol PM. The PM is benedrill.

I thought that I would loss weight and that would be great! I have been on it for aweek now. I only take 150 a day. It makes me feel tired and I gained 10 pounds! In a week! I think the dose needs to be higher because I want to sleep and if im awake, I want food! Like the food is giving me comfort! Im on it because I wanted to end my life a week ago. I dont want to end it now but still feel like I dont care about much. Kinda like im just here for others and not so much myself and that scares me! I can't ever feel like I did aweek ago. I have gone to church, taken my meds and everything my doctor asked me to do. Still scared...still feel alittle lonely.. But I feel like I can deal with it for now.
