I've been on Welbutrin for the past year, along with wean off of Paxil (down to 7.5mg) and just started on 37.5mg of Effexor, NO problems or side effects that I can attribute to Welbutrin. I decided to try starting Effexor after reading some of this thread, because I cannot see how the withdrawl can be worse than Paxil for me, and I still want the right cocktail. One of the recent postings on this thread indicated that there is no difference between withdrawl from a full dose or weaning with Effexor. I am not saying this is not true, just be cautious. Weaning may not be fun with Paxil, but cold turkey allegedly caused a former Paxil user to become homicidal and suicidal and act on both, resulting in a lawsuit in Wyoming. I intend to wean off Effexor, when it is time, unless I am convinced that I can safely (within SSRI withdrawl funtime limits) stop entirely all at once.
