I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through. I am now back to taking 50 mg and have stopped taking the wellbutrin. I realized the wellbutrin wasn't strong enough to counter the side effects of zoloft. It sounds like your body has developed a dependency to the medication as well. Trying to taper down will only make you sicker. I suggest going back to your regular dose to get your system on an even keel so you can get some rest. It's hard to think and make good decisions when you are exhausted and irritable. I would suggest contacting your doctor as well to explain to him/her what has been going on. I hope you are more successful with that than I have been. My experience has been that no one seems to understand what I am talking about. The medical profession seems to be clueless about the seriousness of the withdrawal symptoms. Please write me back and let me know how you are doing. Good luck!

I ended up going back on 50 mgs and feel better. The withdrawal was so bad. I'm going to try to find a psychiatrist in my area to help me withdraw the next time. I'm hoping the psychiatrist will have a better way for me to wean than my internist did.
