In reply to Wellbutrin Cold Turkey, posted by AnotherAnon on April 10, 2006, at 11:18:27
Three times I stopped Wellbutrin "cold turkey". Two of those times I immediately switched to prozac and (not surprisingly) noticed no negative withdrawal symptoms at all. However, the other time I stopped cold turkey and replaced it with nothing else after around 27 months on the drug I did not fare well. I have MDD and with that comes serious fatigue and a lack of desire to do much of anything. Although it is claimed (I believe) that Wellbutrin withdrawal comes with few negative effects, I experienced (guess what) serious fatigue and a lack of desire to do much of anything. Although in comparison, it wasn't as bad as trying to withdraw from prozac. After about 6 weeks off of wellb, I went back on the drug for another year before switching to Prozac.
