I have been taking 50mg of zoloft for the past 2 years and my dr has recently taken me off it and started me on 150 dosage of Wellbutrin XL. She had me take my regular 50mg of zoloft the first week with the wellbutrin then down to 25mg the second week and then nothing starting this week which the first day without it was monday (today is saturday) i've been getting EXTREEM DIZZY SPELLS throughout the entire day and headaches usually follow by a good bout of nausea and vomiting once a day usually around dinner time. I've talked to my doctor twice this week (i actually work in the office so i've been trying my very best not to be a complete pain in her butt) and was told that this was normal "due to the change in medication" but was never told which medication change was causeing these symptoms. my husband and i where both convinced that it was the wellbutrin and my plan for tomorrow was just to stop taking it cold turkey and see what happens. But all of the symptoms that have been described here have really helped me understand that its not the wellbutrin but withdrawl symptoms from the zoloft. i'm so glad i found this site! and i'm not the only one feeling like i'm going crazy.
