You have to have a sedative to match it. They gave me quetiapine. Not sure what the vrand name would be where you live. I was on 25mg per 150mg wellbutrin pill. I think the quetiapine helps the anxiety and insomnia whIle the wellbutrin helps the depression but it is a very old drug now. There are much newer ones. To come off I halved the dose and sat for months but it would depend how long you have been taking it, how slow you have to come off.

I haven't, but do know of someone who had to get off of it because she was experiencing much more anxiety on it. When she got off it, she felt much better, and was prescribed a new medication. Best of luck, hope you get some relief soon!

Bad stuff! A friend of mine passed while on this drug. Seek out better advice.

Just coming off a bad experience with another drug. I read the one and two star comments about the drug on drugs.com. I am not an advocate of discussion of meds but have found it beneficial to find that others have had the same reaction to a med. The one I was taking was to help with mood swings, which was not a particular problem for me, but it became one. Feeling a little bit better now for having the guts to make a decision as to what was going to make me feel better. Wishing for the best for you in your decision.

I could not take either---similar symptoms.

Maybe your doctor put you on too high of a dose? Call the Doctor and tell them. I haven't had that much experience with wellbutrin. All i know it is an AD. I have heard of some bad side effects.

By the sounds of all your side effects, I hope you see the Doctor and go off right away. Sound like by the others posters there are alot of bad side effects to it.

I took it made everything worse. I would talk to your doctor and get off it asap. Celexa has worked for me as well as Klonopin. Everyone is different though.
