Hello. Is it possible that taking bupropion 150 for the second month has made me more nervous? Do I need to increase the dose to 300?

Yes, bupropion (sold under brand names such as Wellbutrin) can cause increased nervousness as a side effect. Bupropion is an antidepressant and is also used in the treatment of nicotine addiction. It works differently than many other antidepressants because it is a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor.
Nervousness, restlessness, and irritability are fairly commonly reported side effects of bupropion, especially at the beginning of treatment or when increasing the dose.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult with your doctor - they can assess whether these symptoms are temporary and may go away after a period of time, or whether they require a dose adjustment or change in medication. Never change the dose or stop treatment on your own without consulting your doctor, as this may affect the effectiveness of the therapy and lead to a recurrence of symptoms of depression or other conditions being treated.
