I've been taking Wellbutrin now for 9 days, and moved up from 150mg to 300mg on the 5th day. I have much more energy and motivation, but it seems to diminish a little each day. Does this sound right? I am enjoying the increased productivity and motivation to go out walking, but I am having lots of trouble sleeping, as expected. I've been taking 0.5 Clonazepam in the evening - experimenting with the time. I either sleep till 4:30, then can't go back, or wake up much earlier and then sleep lightly off and on. Today is the first day I have felt tired and unmotivated during the day. I don't know if it's the Wellbutrin not working, or the lack of sleep. My "mind chatter" has definately increased and I can't seem to do things like read or write for very long - attention wanders. Anyone had experience with this? Which of these are side effects that may diminish after a while? Also, I was hoping the W. would curb my appetite, but no such luck so far.
Ron, I took the Bipolar II test, and I don't think it's me. I haven't had the hypomania thing.
