Are you cross-tapering? If it's just a med switch from one anti-depressant to another then yes...if it's going off all ADs completely then no way...call your doc and see what happened to be sure but it may be the bupropion is going to be your only AD from here...

Yeah I know once you're on the meds you're pretty much at the mercy of the prescriber...I can't say I like it...

whew, well i got the medicine ordeal straight

turns out that my mom just didnt call it in and they didnt know i was out so the pharmacy just gave me an old script from a long time ago

glad i dont have to worry about tapering YET - although im considering maybe i need to change the cymbalta... im young so i dont really have much pain that the cymbalta could be helping with i think (unless it helps with depression pains) and im thinking that another AD might be more useful for me? effexor? fetzima?

how do you know when its time to try a new AD?

thanks for the responses

I tapered off Zoloft in 9 days. The worst. Was supposed to start cymbalta on day 10, but I took it on day 9 and four hours later, the brain zaps stopped thank god
