I don't know whether you would have withdrawals after a few months on bupropion (Wellbutrin). I don't know what your experience with the medication would be, since we each react differently to different substances.

These are strong medicines.

Many doctors and other health care professionals, sadly, do not have a lot of knowledge about how difficult it can be to stop these drugs. It is something you have to experience to understand, and most of them have never experienced it.

These medications literally change our brain chemistry. If your situation is dire enough that that is absolutely necessary, I can understand considering them.
Some good advice someone shared with me once is that for any medication, it is best to use the lowest effective dose. Many antidepressants and other medications do not reach full effectiveness until weeks or months after they are started. If I were to take one of these I would choose one at a time and take the lowest dose possible.

Does our brain chemistry return to normal after some time being off of the Anti-anxiety medications?
