I know I'm taking 300mg a day, but I can't remember if they're SR or XR or whatever, so I'm not sure yet if I can cut them to taper or not.

Has anyone else stopped Wellbutrin on their own after about that long? I know I'm going to be told to work with my doc, but I don't really have one right now. I'm in between T's and pdoc's, so I'm not working with anyone in that realm right now. I have a pcp I usually see, but he doesn't know anything about psychiatric meds, so he wouldn't have any advice. I'd just like to hear others' experiences with this, if there are any to share.
How many milligrams are/were you taking? I take 300mgSR and it has made get up from my bed and be a functional human being.

I hope you're doing well.
