wellbutrin and how much to stop crying
I went off of effexor and taking 2 tablets a day of Wellbutrin generic but still am crying and not eating. I will go to the Dr. but don't know what to ask him as my mind jumps around all the time. Any help would be appreciated

What did your doctor tell you to do when transitioning between Effexor and Wellbutrin.

You should be taken Wellbutrin as prescribed, you can and should not increase the dosage on your own.

This is a drug that your body is not familiar with. We can not tell you the appropriate dosage only your physician can.

I got off Effexor quite a while ago and will make an appt. The Wellbutrin I've been taking for quite awhile but just wondered if I get down should I take one more..guess I'll make an appt. Just thought if someone had an opinion I could wait ..I work and my husband is going through some physical problems.

I was on welbutrin with nasty side effects,,I went manic(side effects are like shaking and racing thoughts,disrupted sleep and loss of interest in daily routine)I would say the docs need to possibly put you on some other medication especially if these side effects are like you are having.

Today I am on NO antidepressant at all,,think hard and try to find the right wording to express what you are feeling to the med docs.

I have had very negative side effects also with Wellbutrin while taking to try to quit smoking.

You should never increase your dosage without first speaking to your physician. Wellbutrin is one that has especially negative side effects.

Just wait and speak with your doctor.

Good luck to you.

Wellbutrin was a nightmare for me as well. You may want to check with your doc to see if there is anything better for you.
