I have a "life coach", which is basically a therapist that talks me through techniques how to deal certain types of stress, including strategies for staying focused while studying/reading where I have most trouble with (it has worked sometimes for me but I still have the same issues because of the stress of this deadline I've been putting off for some time). I'm considering to have another appointment with my psychiatrist because I'm still having issues with certain anxieties. I think those things have stressed me out more because it was something that I've had going on/on my mind before I started taking meds. By the way, I see my life coach and psychiatrist infrequently because I need more time to try techniques.

Regardless, I do have to say that wellbutrin has actually been helping me a lot during the school day. I am much less disoriented and worried than I was last year. I can concentrate a lot better. In the evening is when I start having problems, I often don't complete all of my work. That has to with that my schedule had yet to change to my proper subjects, another anxiety which has stressed me out. Also, this year I'm doing running, and while I feel more energetic (which was the for me doing it), I feel sore at home making me anxious. I enjoy being on the team, but I don't know I should deal with the tiredness.
(Back to Wellbutrin) I think this is the best meds I've tried so far because I've actually noticed more progress. There I times where I feel more alone and depressed, but I've been able to tolerate it for the most part. I don't think I should switch meds, but rather I think I need to adjust the dose/change when I take it. I was bumped to 300mg for a short time because I wasn't noticing any benefit within the three months I've taken it for that time, but eventually my dad bumped me down to 150 mg to reduce side effects. There are a few days where I decide to take 300mg if I feel that I need to complete more tasks (like today). Do you think consistently going back to 300 will help? Will taking it more than once a day help me?
