Wellbutrin SR - 150 mg

This medication makes me so tired!! I am taking them in the morning..should I switch and take them at bedtime???  Wondering if anyone found the same problem?

Best to check with your pharmacist before doing any switching. They see many people with this drug.

Thanks for your info. Teko ...I think I will try them at night!  I started at a low dose 100 mg about 4 weeks ago then my doctor increased it to 150 mg 2 weeks ago!  Unfortunately, I don't take well to medications ..the only once that I tolerated were the older medications "tricyclic" ..nortriptylene, however, they were not good for concentration!   I noticed that other people take higher doses of Wellbutrin150 mg in the morning and 150 mg evening!   I tried Wellbutrin awhile back and they certainly didn't make me tired in fact it was the opposite!  That is why I am wondering if I am on too low a dose, although you say it maybe too high!  I am definitely going to try them at night ... makes sense if I am tired after I take one..and start feeling better early evening! I will keep you posted.   Thanks

I would take them at bedtime. Also, if you just started them recently, it may be a side effect until they get into your system, usually 6-8 wks. After that, contact your doctor if you still feel that way, there may be something more compatible for you or the dose may be too high. Keep us posted.
