When you go off Wellbutrin after so many years, there are 2 different withdrawal scenarios to deal bc with. The first is what everyone talks about but then there is the second that only starts after being off it for 6-8 weeks; and that is the increase in pain, cold intolerance, taste sensitivities, sensitivity to touch, light etc., These withdrawal reactions are not directly related to depression but make life so unpleasant that depression results. That is why I stay onn150 mg and will prob be on it for life. It is a huge support to my entire nervous system.

@cynthiaefs yes and often a dr tells you to go back onto them as you still need them whereas its the withdrawal causing the symptoms. 😔 Pharmacists are very good to talk to about withdrawal. Its their 'thing' isn't it.
