I've been on Wellbutrin for nearly three years now, and I did stop it once to try Reboxetine. I stopped all at once and did not feel any withdrawal symptoms whatsoever (unlike Effexor withdrawal which was a nightmare for me.)
Good luck!

> I have just come over from the Effexor threads, I have been on both and have almost weaned off of Effexor, the big nightmare. My doctor said there are "NO" side effects to the Wellbutrin wothdrawal. It doesn't seem there are many threads on this drug, or am I missing something? As soon as I finish the Effexor withdrawal I am go for the Wellbutrin withdrawal. I only take 100 mg per day and sometimes I pop another for energy. I haven't felt any difference (bad) when I do it. But probably shouldn't. The Effexor withdrawal just makes me so tired. Any advice is welcome and what kind of side effects can I expect... if any.
