> Wellbutrin is a nice little AD. I was on it for years, on and off. I never had any negative Side Effects, nor did I have any withdrawal. The depression did return when I stopped taking it. You could try stopping now, and if you experience withdrawal, try taking a 1/2 dosage.

> > I have been on Wellbutrin for 13 months. I originally got on it for very mild depression and the doctor thought it would also help me loose a little weight. The reason I have not come off of it sooner is that my son slept for an entire week when he came off of being on Zyban for just 3 months! I have never felt I could take several days of not being able to function and so I stayed on it. But now I am getting off and have taken one 150mg. every other day for 6 days now. I would like to just stop at this point, but not sure if it is safe. My doctor told me how to come off and I forgot what he said! He'll be back from vacation next week, but as I said, I would like to stop now. Does anyone see a problem with this?? any thought anyone has would be appreciated.
