I dropped from 400 mg of Wellbutrin to 300 mg this week and I feel like I got hit with a sack of bricks. Anyone else have experience with withdrawal from Wellbutrin? What was it like and how long did it last?

I'm not planning to go off it, my doctor is just lowering the dose. I take Lamictal too.

I've dropped from 450 mg of Wellbutrin before down to zero inadvertently and didn't have side effects aside from putting me back into depression. I'm sorry you're having a tough time reducing. I hope you feel better soon.

I wish wellbutrin would have worked for me. Like Jennifer said, apart from the return of the depression, it wasn't hard. Took less than a week. (Not recommended.)
I was put out on Paxil and abilify. Also lamictal, so maybe that's why it was softer.
I'm at 0 wellbutrin now.
