My doctor is taking me off from 150XL down to 75mg to wean me off. The 75 mg makes me so speedy I didn’t sleep. I am trying to get off. Has anyone else had this happen? I’m afraid to take it tomorrow. I am afraid to just stop
I am on Wellbutrin for over a month still have bad side effects!! Just does not agree with me.

Hi, Allyson!
Unfortunately, the only way to stop this type of medication is with a slow taper. Stopping abruptly could cause discontinuation symptoms that are more uncomfortable than the effects of a reducing dose.
Let your doctor know that you're having a problem. I wonder if a lesser reduction in the dose might help.
Thank you!!
