Hi all,
I am suffering what I think are withdrawal symptoms from Effexor XR. I was on 75 mg for about 6 months and was doing GREAT! The only side effect I had was in the sex department. It was bugging me so my doctor suggested I get off Effexor and onto Wellbutrin. I did a week of 37.5mg Effexor and 150mg Wellbutrin. I was fine. Then when I stopped the effexor I went on 300mg Wellbutrin. On the second day of just Wellbutrin I started feeling dizzy and nauseous. Today is my 4th day on just Wellbutrin and I just vomited. I feel light headed and occasionally get really hot.. and then my stomach is upset. I also have been on the verge of crying.
Just wondered how long this will last. I might just go back on Effexor because it's hard to work 40 hrs a week and deal with my family this way. On the other hand, maybe I should put up with it so I don't have to go back on the Effexor and someday go through this again if I stop it.
Suggestions? Thoughts? -Kathy
