I think you should share the info you posted over in my wellbutrin titration thread with your husband or the doctor.

This may have been due to pms and throwing up almost all of my food for a month though(not on purpose I was just very sick and didnt want wellbutrin taken away so I didnt go to the dr for 3 weeks). That is when I quit taking my sleeping pill because I was sleeping fine and then I just didnt go back on it when I probably should have. Week 7 started climbing again and I am at week 10 now.
They do have your best interests at heart. It won't necessarily be taken away, but it needs to be titrated to the proper level. Based on how I started feeling this afternoon, I am dropping back to 225mg. We have to be careful not to chase the manic high; it feels good to start with but can lead to some dark places and hard crashes back into depression.
