human
Hi!I am on the Buproprion xl 150 mg.  I take it once in the morning.  I still seem to have some anger issues once in awhile..but not as bad as before ever taking the medication by far!  I diagnosted with post traumatic stress disorder...due to being raped by 4 men,  almost being strangled to death by a man, and as a child my father being abusive....he was a Vietnam vet and probably could have benefited from this medication himself.  My question is...should I be on a higher dose?  What do you suggest?

Hello,Thanks for posting on HcM,Well your problem will require more intense psychotherapy order than medications dosage. You will need a psychiatrist to schedule some sessions so you can go through a mental therapy that can  help you out. Bupropion can be taken up to a dosage of maximum of 450 mg daily divided into two but that will have to be done with supervision of your doctor. Post traumatic stress disorder requires proper psychological therapy, so you will have to book an appointment with a psychiatrist.hope this helps
