Brief Answer:
not at maximum, discuss possible increase with doctor

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

At present you are not at the maximum dose of this medication.

You can consider speaking to your doctor to see if it can be increased. It is possible that at an increased dose, you may feel better than you do now.
Bupropion can go up to 100mg every 8 hours then to 150mg every 8 hours if there is no improvement.

You can your doctor can decide if this can be done.

If there is no improvement with this medication then you may need to consider an alternative to see if it would work better for you.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
