Hi, this is the 1st time I am posting here so, please bare with me. I was on WEllbutrin SR for approximately 3 years and Celexa, then switched from Celexa to Lexapro. In the end, I was on Lexapro and WEllbutrin XL. At the current time, I have taken myself off of Lexapro b/c I was on such a low dosage 5mg every other day that, I believe it really was doing nothing. Also,the reason why I went on these antidepressants is due to an ex-boyfriend who is long gone. Therefore, I personally feel I do not need to be on them anymore. I weaned myself off the Lexapro by myself b/c my psychiatrist does not like to take his patients off medications. Anyway, my point is, I was on WEllbutrin XL 150 once a day. In the beginning when weaning myself off, I was taking 75mg every day for a week. Now, I take half every other day for the past week.
I have not seen a message posted on any website regarding my problem. Now, this is my problem. I am feeling very agitated. I can't stop being angry. I hate it. I am very moody. I can't sit still. I want to cry b/c I can't handle these symptoms.
Has anyone experienced this when stopping Wellbutrin XL or any of the WEllbutrin meds? I really feel like my body is withdrawing from this medicine. I know if I called my dr. he would just tell me these are feelings of depression but, I know they are not. I personally feel that like I said, my body is withdrawing from not having the medication. I can't focus on anything. I feel so stupid. I have handed my bosses back all the wrong work. This is really affecting me.
Just curious if anyone has been through this or anything remotely similar after trying to stop wellbutrin. It is such a horrible feeling. I do not want to go back on it b/c if this is what i have to go through, I would rather get it over with now. I would greatly appreciate some opinions. thanks....
