Do you combine Wellbutrin with a stimulant med? I've started discussing this with my doc because my ability to find Adderall has been inconsistent. I was hoping the Wellbutrin might even things out. But I'm uncomfortable starting and stopping Wellbutrin. I feel like with the way it works on brain chemistry, you're probably better off taking it consistently.
You should try the SR version for the reason that XL (extended release) is supposedly 24 hours, whereas SR (sustained release) delivers the same dose over a smaller window where you can go about your day and get your stuff done. You don't need to be dosed when you're sleeping (XL) and Wellbutrin can definitely have a slight stim effect (akin to a very mild baby Ritalin) if the dose is sufficient in amount or if the timeframe is compressed
haha, you are right who needs to be dosed while sleeping. Thanks so much for the insights about how to use SR. what dose are you on and what time do you generally take it?
