lexapro withdrawal

hello, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or experience with lexapro withdrawal. I was on 20 mg a day for about 5 or 6 months with no help or atleast very little, my dr has swithced me to wellbutrin which I am excited about taking because it is supposed to help with stopping smoking which I need to do.

My question is that I was instructed to take a half a pill for 4 days, then a 1/4 of a pill for 2 days then 1 day off of lexapro totally then begin the wellbutrin. I am going into my second day of wellbutrin but my dizziness and brain zaps from coming off the lexapo have gotten worse. does anyone know how long I could expect to feel these symptoms and if there is anything I can do to help minimize them?

Thank you,

Mark W
