Ondrej Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I am very glad that I came across this page and I am not alone ... I have been using zoloft for 4 months, bupropion for 2 months ... even though it helps me in a certain way, because it is "different" for me, I still have the feeling that it hurts and destroys my brain, exactly as this page describes. If I stop taking it all at once, will it be very cruel? I have Zoloft 150mg in the evening and Bupropion 300mg xl morning ... What could help me get these drugs out of the body? Please be happy for any answer ..

Ondrej Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Buďte prosím tak shovívaví a poraďte, jak rychle mohu snížit...nechci skončit ve vážných psychických problémech, abych se dostala zpět do hospitalizace a dostala jsem ještě silnější léky a neměla jsem dobré vyhlídky... Plánuji začít intenzivně cvičit, zvedat těžké váhy a občas kardio + změna jídelníčku ... v tom, co myslíte, vidím velký potenciál? Děkuji mockrát @Jsem na cestě Can u help me? Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) Please be so lenient and advise how quickly I can cut down...I don't want to end up in serious mental problems only to end up back in hospital and get put on even stronger medication and not have good prospects... I plan to start exercising intensively, lifting heavy weights and doing cardio occasionally + changing my diet...do you think I see a lot of potential in this? Thank you very much @I'm on my way Can u help me?

The rest will need to be tapered, as well as the bupropion. Suggest you try this reduction, let us know how you feel. It will take a few days for your system to fully register the dosage reduction. 1 This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
