I am on week 5 of bupropion xl 150 mg. I tapered off citaloptam concurrently over 3 weeks. The bupropion makes me feel energetic but the side effects have been brutal. Nausea, GI issues, dizziness, headaches, etc. I can handle everything but the dizziness. When I turn my head or eyes quickly it’s like it takes a second for my brain to catch up. 

I don’t think I should feel this bad after 5 weeks, but I’ve read others say to give it 6-8 weeks. I want to give it every chance to work… when is it time to throw in the towel? My doctor wants to increase to 300 mg eventually and I can’t imagine how that would make me feel!
