Hi Katey,
First of all, don't wait 2 weeks to contact your doc! Call Monday, tell him your problems. When I started Welbutrin, my doc automatically handed me a Rx for Ambien and said I would probably need it during my 'start-up' period. It was about 20 10 mg. tablets. And I did need them. I took 150 mgs. WB in a.m. & 150 after lunch, never took it later than 3 p.m. because it can cause wakefulness.
How did your dr. tell you to take your doses of WB and prozac? Your plan for a.m. WB & p.m. prozac might help you settle in, but definitely let him/her know you need specific dosing advice and some help w/sleeping til initial side-effects wear off.
What dosages are you on now and for how long?Let us know how it goes.
