I think my pdoc wanted me off right away because she mistook my anxiety for mania (I've never had a manic episode). I just had really bad anxiety (with insomnia as a result) for two days that I think was caused by her putting me on Risperdal (I often have paradoxical reactions to drugs). Ativan helped the anxiety, but she wanted me off Wellbutrin immediately.
It's been a week since I took my last dose and the headache is finally subsiding somewhat. It's still there but it doesn't feel like my head's gonna pop. The fatigue is also subsiding somewhat. My new therapist yesterday said I seemed "flat" in comparison to last Friday, but I'd rather be flat than depressed or anxious. I think my "flatness" mainly was a result of the horrible headaches, fatigue and not eating enough.
I figure at this point, I may as well tough it out, since I did want to get off the drug anyway.
