I have been struggling with depression disorder from childhood. Recently, I was diagnosed also with defficit attention disorder but I have not treated it formally, (even though I think it is right).

Since I am very forgetful and distracted I have skipped some doses every now and then. At first Wellbutrin SR worked very well. Later I started to loose the boost, so I changed to Wellbutrin XL 300, but now I am still getting sleepy and slow all day.

Last week I skiped like three doses. What are the side effects of sikiping doses this often? I intend not to do it again but, still.....

I hope someone can give me some information. Thank you all!!
Greetings

Sorry you missed or skipped doses. Not skipping is less risk of unpleasant side affects.

There are some posts about this from previous posters that may help

Not that you should ever skip meds, but.... Can you try setting them next to your toothbrush or something? I put mine next to my perfume, so I remember to take them before using perfume and leaving, but anyway, missing a dose or two shouldn't do much. Its half life is pretty long (21 hrs), so you have some in your system for quite a while.
