I'm still on my cocktail, doing well, and pdoc is having me slowly titrate up on Lamictal (finally reached 50 mg after WEEKS!), but a dear friend of mine who is too out of it to go on the computer recently went on WellbutrinSR for a recurrence of major depression after being off meds for about 7 years. Back then, she was treated successfully with 150 mg of "regular" Wellbutrin (SR wasn't around).
Now, with each day she's been on 150mg of WellbutrinSR, she is getting WORSE in terms of agitation, restlessness, constant worry, paranoia and is saying some strange things.
Could it be that she started at too high a dose of the WellbutrinSR and should switch to "regular" Wellbutrin so she can titrate up gradually? Or might the Wellbutrin not be working this time? Any responses/experiences with Wellbutrin greatly appreciated.
