I always took mine upon rising early in the morning then took my second dose no later than 2-3 p.m as if I took it later it would cause insomnia.

The tummy upset and dizziness should subside soon once your body adjust to it. If you're not feeling better within a couple of weeks please contact your doctor. I wish you the best :)

That's about exactly what I do. About 730 I start with 150mg and around 2:30 take the second 150. I'm believing that it helps with my music by making my fingers more alert and responsive. I play clarinet and have felt retarded (making mistakes in execution of notes) when I miss an afternoon dose.

I'm on the sr and I was on it a few weeks before I could take it at bedtime. But the xl as laurie says,is a once a day dose. I started out with the 150 for a few days then went to 300.

XL type Wellbutrin is usually taken only once a day. Where as the SR formula is taken twice a day. Taking that much at bedtime is going to cause insomnia. I take my Wellbutrin XL in the morning only, but I would discuss with the doctor before changing anything. Starting out at 300mgs a day is quite alot for beginner. May want to discuss starting with the 150mg once a day in the morning and work upto the 300mgs once a day in the morning. Just my experience. Please discuss with the prescribing doctor.
