How to get off of Wellabutrin?

[danette870]

I would like to know how to get off of taking Wellabutrin 300,mg safely, and what will I experience in side effects? Should I just start cutting back and weaning myself off of them? Thank you.

Your decision about medication change should always be made in conjunction with your doctor...but a safe way to wean yourself without any significant side effects is to do it over a three week  period...the first week, you lower your dose to least amount possible per day.  the second week, you take that dose every other day; the third week, you take that dose every third day..then you stop.

I take 20 mg of geodon capsule a day. How do wean off of it. I can't cut it in half. Do I just take one every other day than every two days and so on? My only problem when I stop taking it is I can't get a good nights sleep.
