During my amphetamine days I was very depressed and my doctor put me on Wellbutrin… I just stayed on it thinking it would help.
Recently, after complaining about insomnia for the past year, my new doctor suggested we cut down on the Wellbutrin.
Went from 450XL to 200 SR…. Immediately sleeping better and deeper, and longer.
While I had rebound fatigue, depression, and lack of focus from the big drop, it’s rapidly improving over the past few weeks.
I’m catching up on a lot of sleep and a lot of my paws symptoms are improving.
Interested to see whether the trend continues as I taper off…. Maybe lack of sleep has been a big factor in my slower recovery…. Maybe Wellbutrin must be approached cautiously.
I went from like 7 hours of light sleep to 9-10 hours of very deep and dream filled sleep.
Tired, but figure it’s probably a combo of withdrawal and that I’ve got a lot of sleep debt to make up
Yeah…. I agree, and that’s the plan…. I’m kind of kicking myself wondering how the past 13 months of fragmented and bad sleep may have prolonged my recovery…. Like, would I have felt better by now if a doctor caught it?
I’d jump off it now but despite what some say, it does have withdrawal. It’s like a softer amphetamine crash.
Maybe when I get down to 100 mg I’ll sleep fine and get the benefits

Right?! Today is my first day at 150…. Two weeks ago I was at 450. I already feel better.
I think many of us are just chasing that stimulant feel.
Did you find yourself sluggish and sleeping a lot as you tapered or came off? It’s getting better but the first 10-12 days were rough.
