The Glaxo insert that comes with Wellbutrin does mention 150SR dosing every OTHER day for people with liver problems. I don't see why someone trying to get a handle on startup effects couldn't do that also. I was taking one 100SR Wellbutrin per day for about 5 weeks and stopped for two days (there are no withdrawal concerns, unlike SSRIs), because of side effects. I made an appt. to switch to something else. But decided to give it another shot, and most side effects disappeared. I am still at 100mg, mostly for maintenance, and feel fine. My target is 300mg SR per day, but that probably won't be necessary. Not unusual for me. 10mg of Prozac completely knocked out my depression. 20mg only felt like I was drinking triple espressos or something ALL DAY, w/o any further benefit. But, getting back to my point, Wellbutrin lends itself nicely to taking a "drug holiday" if you need time to adjust to it.
