In reply to New to site...Would like advice on Effexor/WellBut, posted by JLC on February 27, 2002, at 6:58:53
Continue taking the Welbutrin, but slowly taper off of the Effexor. Take 200mg Effexor per day for one week, then 175mg the next week, then 150mg the next week, then 100mg the next week, then 75mg the next week, then take 50mg the sixth week and ask your Doctor to prescribe a diiferent medicine to replace the Effexor but doesn't have weight-gain as a side effect. i am tapering off of Serzone, a perfect medicine for me which caused minimal weight-gain, but because of it being hard on the liver i have to stop taking it. i will probably start on the anti-depressant Welbutrin next week, and take it together with the anti-anxiety Clonopin that i just recently started.
