OK I ve given it almost 4 weeks and I still feel like I'm in hell. I know I should give it longer but I don't think I can bare it. Plus I'm losing weight wich is not good as I'm already skinny. Has anyone here come off it before? If so how did you do it? I'm on 150 SR twice a day - I was thinking going down to one a day for 4 or 5 days and then stopping altogether.

Sorry to hear that. Day 21 and I've felt much more like myself the last couple of days. There is a lot of good threads on stopping Wellbutrin and what worked for people. I would think after four weeks, it shouldn't be too hard.

Hope something works for you soon.

Okay, add me to the list of casualties as well. While I felt somewhat better than I did when I started, I actually had a couple of majorly depressive thoughts and helpless feelings recently that scared the hell out of me. Like my mind was chemically altered for the worse. Back on Lexapro. Had another bad episode last night after being off of the stuff since last Friday. Hopefully it will be out of my system soon. I know Lex works for me, so I will deal with the side effects in some other fashion. Supposed to see my GP tomorrow. Off to the Lex board.

I only took Wellbutrin for 7 days and coming off of it has been hell. I have been very ill from withdraw with diarrhea, vomiting, headaches and it sucks!! For only being on it for 7 days it seems pretty extreme. So far I have had pretty bad withdraw for 4 days.
