Specializes in Psychiatry

Hmm!: I treated one eating disorder patient with wellbutrin (bupropion) & tracked her very closely. I was very concerned when i learned that she had restarted her dysfunctional eating behaviors even though she had denied it. The problem is that people with eating disorders often will not admit when their eating symptoms return or increase.

Hi, Is it safe to take Wellbutrin XL 150 every other day- I am sensitive to the drug and it seems too strong. If so, is it okay to take it every third day? Is moderate drinking okay in this prescriptive fashion? (either 2nd or 3rd day). Thnx?
