> Thanks for the feedback. I started taking half a dose of my Zoloft to ease the withdrawal symptoms and this has helped a lot altho it did not completely eliminate them yet. I have an appt. with my doc this week and will discuss this with her. I really do want to give Wellbutrin a try!- KarenKaren--Good luck with the transition from Zoloft to Wellbutrin. Talk to your doc and see if she/he will work with you to develop a slower schedule for going on or off a med, if that is possible in your situation. I am so glad I took things slowly with going on Wellbutrin. The side effects were mildly unpleasant but nothing like the horrid side effects I experienced with all the SSRIs I've tried over the years. I think the slowness in increasing my dosages minimized any side effects for me. I'm optimistic for the first time in four years! Best wishes for finding the right med or the right combo of meds to help you return to being you. I finally feel like me again! Hurrah! (I'm not out of the woods yet but at least I feel better than I have in the past four years) --phyl
