I am trying to wean myself off of Wellbutrin. Was taking 300mg (150 2x day) for about 2 years. After my sister had a seisure, I immediately cut my dosage in half and did that for about 3 weeks. Felt fine. Cut that in half for about 2 weeks and felf fine. Today (Sept 3, 07) is my first full week off the medication. I've had the text book withdrawal symptoms; lack of sleep, light headed, tingling in arms and legs, headaches, and occassional shaking. Any idea how long symptoms will last, and is there any thing to do, naturally, that will help.

I hope you are feeling better by now. It is scary how severe the withdrawal symptoms can get and it's just as scary that the meds can make it easier to have a seizure. How is your sister? And was she on Wellbutrin also?
