How do I properly wean off of wellbutrin?!
Question:
How do I properly wean off of wellbutrin?
I have been 150mg SR once daily for about a year. I think it has actually worsened my level of anxiety and would like to get off of it. I made an appt to see my family doctor, but she can't get me in until mid July. As such, I would like to begin the weaning process now so that I am close to being off of it when I see her.
Can someone tell me how to properly wean off of this med? I'm not sure what med I should try. I'm not depressed, but I do have anxiety.
Answers:
You should go to see a psychiatrist for evaluation. You are possibly on the wrong dosage or the wrong medication. The psychiatrist can also recommend a safe way to wean yourself from the medication. DO NOT TRY TO DO THIS ON YOUR OWN! It can lead to even worse depression. I speak from experience.
