Weaning Off of Wellbutrin
Posted over a year ago
i am in the process of weaning off Wellbutrin and i feel sick to my stomach and like i am going to throw up. is this a normal side effect and what other side effects are there?
Mbristol63 - Coming off Wellbutrin for me was hell. I ad some of the GI symptoms you mentioned (adding in vomiting). But the worst effect I had was the feeling of electrical shocks in my head which worsened when I moved my head. I hope you don't have to deal with it. If you do...I found some relief in laying down pretty flat without movement, avoid loud noices, and sometimes taking an antihistamine helped with the occassional bouts of dizziness. Last major side effect I had was very vivid dreams!
Good luck to you! Just wean slowly!

Chaechaejohnson1 - i am in the process of coming off welbutrin. Wow! Im glad to know someone else is having vivid dreams. I am having horrible nightmares...like im almost afraid to go to bed at night. This has been happening for about 2 weeks. And doesnt seem to be getting any better. Its causing me to lose sleep at night, and leaving me feeling lethargic during the day. I called my doctor today...hes supposed to call me back tomorrow. So anyhow, good luck to you. Hope this gets easier
