Never never cold Turkey the chemical withdrawal is something you will not want to experience ever
Slow take your time get advice from your dr AND pharmacist !
I have been told by a dr to taper slowly and then by another it’s ok you have tapered long enough and whoa it hit me too soon!!
No one knows till you try to taper how your body will adjust it’s a major shock so taper taper taper slowly!

Hello....I am also in the process of quitting Wellbutrin. I am down from 300mg to 150 per day. I will be seeing my primary care physician next month and I will request 75 mg. I am tapering slowly because going cold turkey is not a good idea. I am also investing in a FDA approved device by Fisher Wallace. It has a good track record in dealing with depression and anxiety, among other things. Best....

I've been on welbutrin for over 6 yrs. I also take lexapro. at my age, late 60s, I'm content to just stay put since I'm finally feeling better after being on 02. I have tried to wean of antidepressants but the brain zaps keep me taking the med. talk to ur dr and let us know.

as to ur vax status for covid..... not sure why it was mentioned. and ur immunity is only good for 90 days after having the virus. at least that's what I have understood.

Thank you for your response. I mentioned by vax status because it is my example of how I do not want to continue putting chemicals in my body. I am 'tainted' and have become distrusting of current western medical practices. and am adamantly adverse to putting chemicals in my body. There are too numerous opinions and science 'out there' about the covid vax and natural immunity. Personally, I am tired to the max at age 70 of going to see a doctor and walking out with at least one new prescription to 'cure me.' The medical community is all about big pharma and making money, in my opinion. Personally, I don't think doctors give a darn. Medical school graduates no longer take the Hippocratic Oath. I have worked very hard to change my behaviors and my life to not be depressed. I want to try life drug free.

Good to know! Now I can talk to my doctor. I did not know there is extended release and 'regular.'

Titrate the Bupropion working with your clinician to do so.

Hi....I am doing what you are. I am now taking 150mg every other day. After several weeks, I plan on taking one every 3 days etc. My MD told me that getting off Wellbutrin should not be difficult. I have noticed a difference in how I feel, but not enough to continue as I was. I am willing to persevere because I want off anti-depressants just as you do.

I’m on 3, 50 mg tablets of Wellbutrin every morning only.
I never tried getting off it cold turkey as it could send you to the hospital ER I was told. Never stop taking your medication without your doctor’s permission. You and the rest of us have no medical or psychiatric training and some of these meds have horrible consequences if you just quit.

I presently have Covid and been vaxed twice then with a booster.
Unvaccinated people have an 88% chance of being hospitalized so I’m happy to report that I have a moderate case and should be out of the woods in 90 days as far as being contagious.

Vaccinated people get Covid like anybody else because there is no cure for Covid. Pavloxid was given to me for 5 days only. Can’t be taken back to back.

I don’t really care who does or who doesn’t get vaccinated. It’s a personal choice. I’m glad now that ,as awful as it was, I survived it. My sister never got vaccinated because “it’s a hoax”.
She never got covid despite the fact that she traveled to Arizona with 3 other people and all vaccinated people got covid but not her. She never caught it so far. My State is considered a “hot spot “ and I’m high risk because of underlying health conditions.

So I decided that being in the 16% that were never admitted to a hospital with covid due to vaccination verses 88% of unvaccinated people I went with the 16%. My sister and I are close but the vaccine talks kept getting more heated so I have learned to accept her decision and hope that she never gets severe covid.

Vaccines have been politicized and I realize that so I backed off.
She doesn’t believe in my 88% figure. So be it. I however am a vaccine advocate because 8 out of 10 Americans have now been vaccinated and covid hospitalizations are still high but nowhere near what it once was when over a million Americans died from it.

Let me get off my soapbox but I only mentioned my view’s because you brought it up somewhat out of nowhere.

As far as quitting cold turkey because you feel better is never a good thing. Let your doctor wean you off slowly. Be safe.

You’re feeling better because ur taking Wellbutrin.
Stay on it
