wellbutrin

I was taking wellbutrin along with lamictal and celexa and was doing great, I  told my doctor i was doing great and he decided to just take me off cold turkey 2 weeks ago and now i am crying alot , not sleeping, i am just not myself i am spaced out now and family friends and co workers can see a difference in me , not sure why he took me off since i was doing good , i feel like i am about to lose my mind very irritable, and angry at times why would he take me off if i were doing good on it   , he said its not a long lasting medication to take but if i were doing good why would he do this

I agree also. It is a weaning process. You don't just stop lamictal or an antidepressant. I also agree with the other comment. The doctor is an idiot. You might want to look for someone else. Ask around and see who is happy with their physician. I have seen patients whose physicians have done things like this end up in hospitalization. In some cases, it seems it would have to be almost intentional...how stupid could a physician be? They do make a lot of money from having sick patients. Getting well isn't good for the bank roll.

how are you doing now? Im taking 150mg of Wellbutrin and Lexapro Im feeling better. My Dr said Im going to be on these for a year atleast. She said there is no problem staying on them
2, 3 years if I am happy. I have to agree. Why mess up a good thing. Doctors will wein you off meds slowly. Its a gradual process, NOT yank you off them, cold turkey!
