I am new here and I have been so releived to read some of these posts. I was takeing 75mg of Effexor as of yesterday. Today is my first day off. I am not doing it alone. I am now on Prozac for at least 2 weeks to help with the withdrawls. So far so good. My reasons for getting off Effexor is weight gain, low labido, and the withdrawls. I do not want to feel like I have to take any medication. As soon as I can completely get off the prozac I will switch to the Wellbuterin. My doctor did not want me taking two of anything. I was suprised to see that he also had no idea of the withdrawls of the effexor. He told me wean off by skipping days. Um, ok, well what do I do about the days that I am not taking it? He was shoked to hear how missing one dose was miserable for me. I had to tell him about the Prozac idea. UGH!!!Anyway my question is what kind of expiernces has anyone had with switching to wellbuterin alone?
