Wellbutrin cold turkey

[Michelen301]

I am on vacation in Ireland and realized I left my Wellbutrin at home. The country does not carry this or it's equivalent Zyban anymore. I have 10 days until we return home. Does anyone have any idea what the withdraw symptoms will be. My husband is very nervous.

wellbutrin is one of the easier drugs to stop and you may not have any withdrawal symptoms, but if you do, see if you can get something like klonopin to cover your withdrawal symptoms. Your worst side effect might be your worry about getting side effects...be nice to your husband and promise him you won't be irritable, and that should settle him down.

Thank you so much for the wonderful information. I imagine any ordinary worry I might get in time I would put under the magnifying glass and blame it on withdrawal symptoms. I already feel so much more at ease and will try not to worry and just enjoy my vacation. I read your response out loud to my husband and he got a good chuckle. I'm sure this information has put him more at ease too. He seemed much more concerned than I was. I will look into the klonopin. Thank you!
