I did just stop. I had the last of it Friday, so it's been just a few days. I don't feel that bad, a little bit like I have the flu I guess, not a lot of energy. Kind of nauseated. I was on 45 mgs for eight months.
The Wellbutrin XL, I was on for about the same amount of time. I had gradually increased the dose to 450, which is the high end. It worked well pretty well for awhile, but I started to get very irritable. I tried reducing the dose from 450 to 300, then went back to 450 and had some manic episodes, then dropped to 150, then I just gave up and quit.
These meds, they all have side effects and it's a benefit vs. side effects ratio issue with me also. I couldn't handle Lexapro at all, it gave me akathisia so bad I was climbing the walls.
With the high dose Wellbutrin/Remeron combo my thinking is I was getting too much norepinephrine, so, give it a rest I guess...it's frustrating.
