Hi
I read your query and do understand the need that might have felt for increasing the dose of Wellbutrin (Bupropion). The maximum recommended dose of bupropion is 450 mg/day. So as of now, you are taking the drug within the recommended limits. And since you are doing well on it, it seems fine.
However, it is important to note that higher doses have a higher chances of side effects. It also increases the propensity of seizure. So incase you face any side effects, consult your doctor immediately.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
