I'm taking Wellbutrin SR 150mg twice a day, eight hours apart or so, started them about a week ago. My doc isn't a big phen fan, and wasn't too happy with my continuing to take it. Noncompliant me decided to do it anyway, and i kept taking the 37.5mg dose.

Yesterday i had a horrid headache i couldn't get rid of, so i got a friend to take my blood pressure at work. It was 142/102, which is high for me (102 is high for anyone, really). So i skipped the phen today and did better, although i was a little hungry at times. I'm sort of thinking of dropping the phen dose to half a pill every day and seeing if it works without my b/p going way up.

So far i do like the wellbutrin, but it takes a few weeks to hit a good level with it. i have had occasional dizziness, but nothing major. Hubby says I'm way nicer already. :rolleyes:
