Constant feel of too much coffeine

Me, 37 M, got my bupropion prescription last year, due to depression. after the first day of 150 mg I instantly felt energy and more joy. after 4 or 8 weeks, I asked my psych if we can double the dose. I got my shit together, like household, going to the gym, getting up early (I also take agomelatin 25 mg at night). It felt great and still does.

And here comes the big BUT, I feel more and more that my brain is running constantly. It feels like when drinking too much coffee or energy drinks. It helps to get moving, but I started to be jumping from one topic to another having multiple projects at one. I still can dive in from time to time, but it´s hard to stay on one topic. AND I have the feeling, that my sadness is still inside me, waiting to be felt, but it´s harder for me to connect with myself (which is hard for me my whole life already). AND my social anxiety is still there. No change at all.

I am thinking about going back to 150 mg , or try a few days without it to see how it turns out.

Can anyone relate to these effects?
