Hi Mair,

I just can't remember whether I stopped Wellbutrin cold or not. Too many years and too many meds ago. But if I did taper it was only by taking 1/2 the dose for one week (I was on 300).

If you can't reach your doctor you may be able to get the pharmacy to sell you a few. Talk to the pharmacist not the clerk. This would either buy you a bit more time to contact your doctor or allow you to taper a bit.

As to whether to stop entirely? Only you can answer that. Stopping has never worked that well for me but if you've been doing well you might want to try it. I'm not sure I believe in the cautions about meds not working again later either. Or at least not that discontinuing is the reason they no longer work.

If this really is something you want to do and this feels like a good time for you to try it, why not use this to give you a little extra push? But don't do it if you're just frustrated by the hassles of getting the prescription refilled. (That's what taking a big hammer to the old prescription bottle is for!)

Nice to see your name here.
