@kah869 - I've personally taken both 300 mg and 450 mg of buproprion (Wellbutrin). Neither dose has been a problem, after I initially started on this medication years ago and went through emotionally bumpy times in the first few months.

Did you end up increasing your buproprion (Wellbutrin) dose? If so, how has it gone?

@lisalucier I did increase my dose and it was the best decision ever. On 150mg I didn’t feel any different or anything at all. 300 mg was a slight improvement from the 150, so I wasn’t expecting much going to 450 other than maybe a seizure. However it was a world of difference. Not right away, initially I didn’t feel any change but about 2 weeks into it I was working out of town and normally in that situation I’d go from the office straight back to my hotel and just order food in and not leave till I went back to the office in the morning. This day I out of nowhere decided I wanted to go out to dinner and I did by myself. Then while sitting and eating I found myself looking out the window at the traffic and everything going on and just enjoyed it. It’s been that way sense. I just actually enjoy life again, I can’t explain it fully but it’s like seeing everything completely new again
