Canoli19 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Hello! I’ve been on 150mg of extended release welbutrin for three years and I’m considering stopping it. Can I just stop old turkey? Do I need to wean? Anyone have any experience getting off of welbutrin? Edited December 29, 2019 by manymoretodays moved from off topic, mmt Link to comment
Moderator Gridley Posted December 29, 2019 Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2019 Welcome to SA, Canoli19. The link below contains very specific instruction about getting off Wellbutrin. Though Wellbutrin in many cases causes fewer withdrawal symptoms than other antidepressants, a taper is still required and you should not cold turkey.
