wellbutrin withdrawals

[jessie342]

i recently ran out of my wellbutrin.  i have been taking it for close to three years now.  i have been experiencing extreme nausea today and was wondering if this could be a withdrawal from it and wondering if so, how long will it take for it to stop?  i ran out about three days ago.

Yes, it is definetly one of the withdrawal symptoms, and it could last for several day to a week...you should not stop like this, but over a three week period....ask your doctor for enough to last that long at a reduced dose, and by end of third week,every other day..

I am in the process of withdrawaling from Wellbutrin.  I have experience nausea, head aches, and extreme fatigue.  I don't know how long this will last once I stop.  However, you should not stop this medication cold turkey.
