Getting off of Bupropion and Duluxetine

I was put on Bupropion 150 mg for low mood 8 months ago and then Duloxetine 40mg was added for was 3 months later. Feeling pretty good about myself for more than a month and leaving for 3 weeks of travel I forgot these meds. I did have the thought that I’d like to get off of both of them at some time and I believe this was possibly a semi conscience mistake. I just read here after almost a month of these meds that much more care should have been taken in slowly weening myself from these meds. I am a youthful 73 yo male in relatively good health and active doctors care as I’ve been high maintenance all my life. I was with my loving family during this time and asked my sister to pay attention to any changes she might see in me. Within 3 days I noticed a substantial increase in my normally sensitive self to the point of my eyes tearing up and getting choked up over much that never caused this reaction. Excuse me but I likened it to my wife’s emotions when her monthly would hit her hard. Just in this last I’ve noticed this finally tapering off thankfully and had the presence of mind to do some research on it. Aside from the emotional issue I’ve described I did have some hopefully non related numbness in my left hand.
I just thought I’d pass this along should anyone else be as momentarily casual about their health as I was. I’m certainly not advising anyone to do as I did, it was truly embarrassing at times. I have gained the mental clarity I was missing in the mornings and am feeling optimistic that the next few months “clean” will net further positive results. I was not liking the lack of affect and passion I once had before taking these meds. I suppose I’ll have some explaining to do when I next see my Drs.
