Question For years I've taken Wellbutrin XL at 150 mg a day as well as 300mg a day. I'm of the mind now that a dosage somewhere in between such as 250mg would be optimal, yet it doesn't exist from GSK. My question then is 1) Would a combination of Wellbutrin SR 150mg and 100 mg provide the desired effect? 2) would the two dosages be taken together in the morning and night, or separately as 150mg in the morning then 100mg at night, and 2) Would a compounding pharmacy be able to offer Wellbutrin XL in dosage not available from GSK?
Any thoughtful suggestions will be appreciated,
Silas
Answer Hi Silas,
One will have to try out different schedules. Presently there is no way to tell which one would be better. Your question is very similar to one asked by another person and I think you can try out these schedules and decide for yourself.
Whether a compounding pharmacy can help you , will depend on whether the product has been made using bead technology or matrix technology. In case of matrix it would be easier to help you, with beads it might be more complicated. I have not seen the GSK product, I have seen it listed in my country so it is difficult for me to comment.
