Wellbutrin and insomnia
I will begin with Wellbutrin XL tomorrow, but I'm concerned about the side effects. How do I handle the drug-induced insomnia? I have Lyrica, Remeron, Rohypnol, Seroquel and trazodone in my medicine cabinet. All of these drugs are good sleep aids, but I doubt that Remeron is potent enough. Elavil has been my long-life companion, but this drug doesn't mix well with Wellbutrin. What do you guys think? Heuer |

Rohypnol and/or Seroquel and/or trazodone should be more than enough for this.

its nice you have many different options....seroquel worked great for me, about 25 mg at night to reduce/kill the insomnia from wellbutrin. but you do get a little bit of a hangover from seroquel.

I was taking Wellbutrin Sr once in the morning and once at night as prescribed. Didn't sleep for 5 days. Started taking it in the morning and was able to sleep a lot better. If possible take it in the morning and you should have a less insomnia.

While a common Wellbutrin side effect given that it's a stimulating AD, it doesn't mean it will happen to you. It may or it may not. When I tried Wellbutrin for a few months it had no impact on my sleep that I could detect. The only thing it did was act as an appetite suppressant -- which is a very nice side effect in my case -- though I stopped because other than that it did nothing for me.
