I have been on Bupropion SR for about six months now and have only been able to get up to 100 mgs. I am taking it for a combination of depression w/lack of motivation and ADD. My pdoc has tried to get me to increase to 200mgs. and I am just out of my mind with anxiety and agitation when I do that. I also take Prozac 20mgs. and Lithium 450mgs/day. Recently, he suggested that I switch to Bupropion IR to see if I could tolerate a higher dose on that. I do like the more immediate effects it has on motivation but, again, I am anxious. I also have noticed that because of the short half-life of the IR, I do not have consistency through the day. I was wondering if a good strategy might be to take the SR 100mg and combine that with the IR 2-3x day. Anyone done this?
