My pdoc and I are reducing my Wellbutrin from 400mg/day to 300mg. How soon can I hope to feel any difference? Today’s my second day at this dose.

Thanks.

What difference are you hoping for? Has it been causing any problem?

I think it's the reason my hands have been so shaky for the past year or more. I can recall neither exactly when the tremors started nor when I started taking the medication thanks to ECT, but I believe the two are connected. So, as you will have guessed, I'm hoping that cutting the dose by 25% will reduce the tremors in my hands.

Hmmm, I've not experienced that issue, but I hope someone can jump in on that. The only thing I've adjusted dose for is getting too wound up or, more often, agitation. Sorry I don't remember the response time, it's been awhile...

(Oh, and adjustments went between 300mg and 150mg)

I actually have experience with this exact problem. My hands were really shaky because of the Wellbutrin, so I cut back. The tremors eased up a bit, but my anxiety and depression got much worse. I went back up and decided that the hand tremors were a small price to pay for sanity. That said, I am on 300, and it seems to be enough for me. I hope you'll be ok on it too.

Here has been my rexperience. Hand tremors are often associated with APs. ADs like Bupropriin can aggravate this condition. By the way, I understand that the tremors can become permanent.

Only thing I can add is do not cut 300mg abruptly. I went cold turkey two days before going to Disneyworld, thinking it's just anti-smoking pills.
I don't remember Mickey or Mini. Also didn't cry because tears don't come out of my eyes, no matter what.
Probably a 100mg cut will not be much. But what do I know.
Cheers.

everyone is different. i stopped 400mgs/day (sr version) without a taper (not...prudent..) and nothing terrible happened. I was kind of slow and pensive for a couple days, then I rebounded.
