2-6 else: Usually bupropion is given in 1/2 dose (150mg) for week then full dose. Full blood level in a few days after that bit the improvement/ effects can take much longer depending on what is being treated. For depression it is not as fast as we would like. Other people might notice improvement in apathy before the patient "feels better" but the full effect can be > 6wks. Previous success = good.
