i stopped wellbutrin without a taper. probably not ideal, but...i just got tired of it. it wasn't terrible, but i was feeling kind of...both jittery and too apathetic. so...

i was a bit tired for a couple days. pensive for about 1 week or so. depression comes, depression goes; no major problems.

stopping paxil was more difficult. the notorious "brain zaps" hit, big time. increased anxiety. a touch of insomnia. and yet...

i decided it was worth it. better to deal with that than keep on going thru life waaay too detached and oddly tranquilized.

its worth noting that psych drugs don't fix "imbalances..." they create them. I'm not saying that to come down hard on psych drugs, just sayin...they artifically alter brain chemistry, with the hopes that doing so will help you feel and do better. sometimes its the best thing ever, sometimes it proves to be a nightmare. I think most peoples' experiences fall in between those two extremes.

i wish you well.
