Is Wellbutrin XL 450mg A Safe Dosage?
What is the reason to prescribe a Pt with 450mg of Wellbutrin XL? My email is YYYY@YYYY Thought this was a free service, sorry to bother. Thought this dosing was rather high, as I am used to Pts getting 300mg max. Is this a new form of Wellbutrin

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The optimal dose is 300mg, although there is an allowance for a bump to 450mg in extreme cases.
An increase in dosage to the maximum of 450 mg/day, given as a single dose, may be considered if you had no clinical improvement after several weeks of treatment at 300 mg/day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
