Is It Normal To Again Start Feeling A Lack Of Motivation After Increasing Wellbutrin Dosage?
Question: Hi. I increased my Wellbutrin strength from 300 mg to 400 mg a few days ago. I WAS feeling better at 300 but now my lack of motivation has returned after a few days of 400. Is this to be expected?
Brief Answer:
Yes that is expected
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Increasing the dose of any Serotonergic drug results in worsening of symptoms for few days but that usually improves in a week. You yes that was expected. This will reduce in some days and you will again feel better.
You can take low dose Clonazepam on SOS basis if needed.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks and take care
