Not doing well

In the last few days i have stopped taking lamictal and wellbutrin and I feel awful. I was thinking that I was on a low dosage and it would be no big deal to come off but I feel like crap. All I want to do is sleep. I feel dizzy, shaky, anxious, angry, teary, nauseous, tired, and I have a headache. I want to call my doctor for some help but I don't want him to tell me to go back on it. I guess I just need to know that I'm going to be o.k.

How did you feel while taking the meds? And, how long have you been on them?
I think you will be OK in a while, do things that are comforting, coddle yourself, and do call your doctor is it continues, or worsens---you have the choice to stop meds, a good doc will help you do that in a way that minimizes the effects....(((((((((((big hug))))))))))))
It would be ok to take OTC meds for the symptoms of nausea/headache. Also, be sure you are well hydrated, eating well, and sleeping is OK for now.

Thank you. I felt o.k. while on them. I just wanted to try life without them. To be honest, compared to now, I felt a whole lot better. I just don't want to depend on medication to keep me stable. I don't think I need it. I hope things get better soon . . .

Coming off meds can be tricky. Is there anyway to take a lower dosage until your body adjusts? That might help.

I will say that it isn't the end of the world if you need to take meds to stay stable. I gave up the idea of being med free years ago.

There are other routes (for me I know walking, biking, etc; and doing something creative helps...along with some sort of schedule when I can keep it)----and I do actually want to go off meds again as I decrease my time in the work world (I take a lower dose of SSRI, and as-needed benzo now vs higher dose and routine benzo...)...haven't gotten there (no meds), may or may not; but I was definitely helped by meds for a long time---- i have no other health problems/meds, that helps----especially as I get old(er)....
