Getting Off Wellbutrin

Posted at 9: 9 PM on Jun 20, 2009 by jstone214, #10255
I am experiencing rapid hair loss of already thinning hair, anger, itching, and memory loss or thought interruptions. I want to quit Wellbutrin. For those who have quit taking the drug, what happens if you quit cold turkey?

Don't quit cold turkey! If you want off the medication, lower the dosage gradually over 2 weeks. My dr said same dosage every other day for a week, then half that every other day for another week. Check with your dr. Withdrawal from antidepressants can be severe. I tried going off Paxil using the weaning method and I thought I was getting very sick; nausea, dizziness, and anxiety were the worst.
