took 2 doses...help

[sfullerton]

not sure if this is where I post this but I forgot that I had taken my wellbutrin earlier and took another dose. What are the side effects? I am sweaty, tired, shaky, etc

i'm not sure, but i think it probably shouldn't matter. 2 pills isn't much of a huge dosage (unless you are already on a high dosage). call your pharmacist if you are concerned, but i think the symptoms are either in your head (sorry) or are unrelated to the meds.

I googled it for you:

 

What happens if I overdose?

 

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Overdose symptoms may include seizures, muscle stiffness, hallucinations, fainting, fast or uneven heartbeat, or shallow breathing.

 

What should I avoid while taking Wellbutrin?

 

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Wellbutrin. Alcohol may increase your risk of a seizure while you are taking this medicine. If you drink alcohol regularly, talk with your doctor before changing the amount you drink. Wellbutrin can cause seizures in people who drink a lot of alcohol and then suddenly quit drinking when they start using the medication.

 

Avoid using bupropion to treat more than one condition at a time. If you take Wellbutrin for depression, do not also take Zyban to quit smoking. Too much of this medicine can increase your risk of a seizure.

 

Bupropion can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.

I am sweaty, tired, shaky, etc

Those symptoms are mentioned in the Less serious side effects I posted above. It says to call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.
