There are a couple issues to keep in mind I think. A rapid stoppage usually produces an uncomfortable withdrawal syndrome. Especially after being on it 15 years. Your brain will go through some confusion as it attempts to adjust to the absence of the wellbutrin molecule. Not guaranteed, but very common. The other issue is that when someone is doing well on a med and then stop it, there is no guarantee it will work again if needed. Stories of a med not working again are common. Some people though can bounce in and out of a med without any problem. So what I'm saying is, there is some risk involved in stopping....the risk is you may never get back to where you are now.

Anyway, we all have to do what we think is right on our own journeys. I'm just sayin that as long the med is working for you now, and it's already been 15 years, don't rock the boat because it might capsize.
