    i am currently on wellbutrin and have been, on and off, for many years. it is the best medication for my particular problems. however, i cannot take the normal dosage of 100-150 mg pills 2x day. i get the raw buproprion, take it to my compound pharmacy, and have them make my smaller dose of 25 mg, in a slow-absorption base. i have terrible tinnitus from simple tylenol and advil products, but never with the 25 mg dose of buproprion (wellbutrin). i am unable to explore rTMS since the only doctor in my area offering it is not a good match for me, and my insurance refuses to work with them. (i am waiting for a new office to open in my town!) but i thot it worth mentioning that the tinnitus may be due to the dosage. you can take MUCH less and have it be VERY effective, and choose your dosage on a daily basis, or step up and down from your therapeutic dosage if you have a pharmacist compound smaller doses for you. unfortunately big pharma does not make small dose w/slow absorption. dont let that stop you.

    i am new here. can someone please explain what the dip and lift terms mean so i do not have to read every single post, there are 33K of them! i can guess it might be a euphoria and depressive state, but gosh, i go through that anyway. is it obviously different than a usual “mood swing” type thing? appreciate anyone’s input here.
