Suggest Remedy For Extreme Mood Swings While On Wellbutrin

I ve been on Wellbutrin for almost three weeks. Three days ago I started crying off and on for no good reason. Told my 11 year old daughter would she like to see me dead. I m not sure the side effects are worth it. I m on 300mgs and now my doc wants to up it to 450mgs. It s a tough call. I m afraid

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the crying episodes may indicate that the medication is not having an effect as yet, this is the reason the doctor may want to increase to dose to see if the increase would help you.

IF you are not able to take this increase then you may want to ask your doctor for an alternative medication.

I hope this helps
