Yeah, Tony, I have been on Wellbutrin for almost 3 years now, and have found the A.M. and lunch-time dosing of the WB 150 SR to be the ticket. I played with the schedule for quite a while. You should know that WB has a very low ceiling as far as what dose casues more negative side effects than positive attributes. For instance, my doc tried to up my dosing to 200 SR twice daily. That caused me to have chest tightening and pain, so I went back to the 150 SR x 2. I have found that to be true with a lot of folks, however some take 400mg with no worries, so I guess it is very individualized (as are most pyschoactive substances). I would "insist" that your Pdoc keeps your benzo as adjunct therapy. It helps with the jitters and sleep problems form WB. If I have taken it for as long as I have w/o losing those untoward effects, that suggests to me that it is not just a coincidence. Let me know how it goes.
