> The problem with this type of discussion is that no one really knows what anyone else is talking about. The first issue is that there is no way of knowing whether your current problems with bupropion actually have anything to do with NE. Secondly, 'too heavy on the NE side' could be interpreted in many ways. Finally, how does this relate to your symptoms?

>Forgive me for jumping in here but I'm in the same position as original poster. I've tried lowering dose from 150mg wellbutrinXL to 100mg wellbutrinSR but still feel side effects.
I was prescribed wellbutrinXL for depression and to augment Celexa which wasn't helping depression much anymore. The combo worked well for about 3 months (I've been taking it for about 6 months) and now it still helps with motivation a bit and energy a bit. Its definitely helped me lose the 40 lbs I put on with other AD's.
The adverse side effects are....my hair is thinning terribly and my body feels soooooo tense all the time, like I'm all bunched up. I also take Ativan for GAD. So, any opinions on whether it may be too much NE??
Thanks so much. Again, sorry for jumping in.
