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?

Cogentin for the tremors? I'm so sorry it's been a struggle.

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.
