I started taking 150 mg XL Budeprion (Wellbutrin) in the morning. After about 5 days, I started having insomnia. I'd wake up about 3:30 am & couldn't get back to sleep. Then I'd start feeling like a speed freak, exhausted but racing around, with palpitations & scattered thoughts. Should I lower my dose to maybe every other day, two out of 3 days, or just quit altogether?

Hi Laura,
Anytime you have a reaction that worries you, you should call your doctor and at least speak with a nurse about your concerns.
Good luck,
Pat
