What Causes Insomnia While On Wellbutrin?
Question: What is the risk of seizures from wellbutrin at 150 mg? i take it as 75mg twice a day? And what can I do to combat the insomnia it gives me.
Brief Answer:
The risk is very low
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM
Risk of lowering of threshold of seizures is there with Wellbutrin but that doesn't mean it will cause seizures. 150 mg is a low dose and would not cause seizures. The risk is there but very low. You can take 150 mg tablet in morning hours to avoid insomnia caused by it. No need to divide doses in 75 mg twice a day. But if you want then you can take 75 mg twice a day without any worries.
Thanks and Take care
