Anyone else awake at 4:30 am from taking Wellbutrin?

My doctor had me at a very low dose, and she wrote my new Rx for twice as much, but still below maximum dosage. Do the side effects fade? Mine are: dry mouth, constipation, sleep disruption, and possibly a couple I've forgotten. Again, do the side effects usually fade away?

still have them years later. Started with Prozac, switched to paxil and they returned. Years later tried Wellbutrin and they returned.

I can live with it for now. I have a neurologist that is keeping an eye on it.

My dr wrote me a new script for the old, low dose, so I'm set for now.

When I was awake at 4am I was irritated and "scheming" revenge for having a few bad days. Not good.
