How do you stop taking wellbutrin XlL

Question

Wean off

Answer 1

You should talk to your doctor about weaning off of Wellbutrin. They can give you a very specific schedule and possible lower doses of the medicine to assist you in weaning off of it safely. Coming off of it incorrectly can lower your seizure threshold so it is very important to follow your doctors orders.

With that said, I've found Wellbutrin to be the easiest antidepressant in terms of side effects to come off of. I was only on 200mg Wellbutrin IR but I just stopped taking it (I don't recommend doing this because of the risks) and I didn't feel any adverse effects unlike the SSRI's and SNRI's I'd been on in the past in which I thought I was going to die coming off of.
