Wellbutrin

I recently stopped taking Wellbutrin after being on 300mg for a long time (3+ years). Went down to 150 a month-ish ago, now I'm off completely, and I'm fucking TIRED. I had no energy to begin with and dropping to 150 made that worse, but now that I'm not taking any I can't even stay awake during the day. I just go back to sleep within a few hours of getting up. Even after that it's hard to keep myself from going back to sleep again.

Has this happened to anyone else after stopping Wellbutrin?

You need to talk to your doctor about this ASAP. Something is not right there.

I have also had a very bad experience with wellbutrin, though a vastly different one. Found out I'm extremely allergic to it, THE FUN WAY.

You're probably right. I'll give my psychiatrist a call tomorrow if I can remember.

That's awful about the allergic reaction. I'm lucky enough that even though I've had some pretty unpleasant side effects/withdrawal from meds, nothing life threatening has happened. I hope you don't have any more medication-related "fun" in the future.
