Wellbutrin Insomnia

Is killing me! I never had it this bad when I took it before. Anyone else? I can't get to bed before 2 AM on a good night and then I'm up every few hours even if I'm not nursing.

    hmm I am on it and I was on it after my older daughter's birth and never had insomnia on it.  Maybe you actually need a higher dose?? because insomnia is as we know a symptom of anxiety or depression....however, maybe you react differently to it and just need a change in meds.  I would call your dr. and discuss it with them because that sounds terrible!

    Thanks. The psychiatrist actually decreased my dosage from 300 to 200 and told me to take melatonin after my feed before LO goes to bed. We'll see if it helps. I'm awake right now and it's almost 1 AM.

    What time do you take it?  I take mine in the morning to try to prevent the insomnia.  It doesn't always work, but I'm usually in bed at a decent hour.
