Upped to 300xl feel awful
I’ve been on 200mg of sertraline for a few years now and it wasn’t really working for me and I was still feeling depressed. Sertraline did help with my anxiety like managing the physical symptoms like shaking, hot flashes, and panic attacks. I started Wellbutrin about 10 months ago but was still feeling depressed and had zero energy. My doc increased me to 300xl Wellbutrin and I’ve been on that dose for about 4 weeks now.
I have been feeling extremely irritable, anxiety amplified, quick to tears. I find myself snapping at my partner and toddler and I don’t feel like myself at all. I am also extremely burnt out at work and have a high stress job (social worker working with unhoused folks). I can’t tell if it’s the burnout or the meds or both. I hate that I just feel so negative all the time and have so much self loathing.
I’m thinking of going back down to 150mg Wellbutrin. Has anyone else had this happen with an increase? Should I stick it out?
