> Has anyone been taken off Effexor and put on Wellbutrin on the same day. I didn't like the side effects of Effexor and my doctor suggested this path. I"m on day 2 and feel like a nauseuous zombie. Any thoughts?
My doctor took me off Lexapro and put me on Wellbutrin on the same day. It was tolerable. But back when my doctor switched me from Effexor to Lexapro, he dropped the dosage of the Effexor gradually. I had a harder time going off of Effexor than I did with any SSRI. I wonder why your doctor didn't cut you back gradually on Effexor while starting the Wellbutrin... Were you on a very low dose of Effexor?
