In reply to Switching from Effexorxr to wellbutrin, posted by 47dude on April 15, 2004, at 3:15:43
I've been on WB for 3 weeks now and prior to that, I was on Effexor. I had a rough time going from Effexor to WB. My doc didn't suggest or tell me to taper from one drug to another. So when I took WB, I had the worst headaches (and still do from time to time). By day #5 on WB, I was in bed all day due to the throbbing, annoying headaches ALL DAY!! I don't know if WB is doing anything for me, but it sure is better than feeling sleepy and sluggish all day as I felt while on Effexor, Lexapro and Paxil (not all at one time). Wellbutrin seems to be okay, but not the "happy-pill" like Effexor, Lex and Pax.
Keep posting and let us know how you're doing!!!> Been on 75mg Effexor and switching to Wellbutrin.
> Anybody know if its a smooth process?
> Will I need to taper off the fxr?....thanks.
