Withdrawal from WellbutrinSR

I've been taking Wellbutrin SR for about 10 years. With my psych Dr consent I've withdrawan from it very slowly. This is the first week without the Wellbutrin SR and I haved been experiencing intermittant shortness of breath. Today it got worse so I went to a medical Dr. She said it's anxiety but I am not anxious at all. She said she thinks I'm anxious because my hands tremble and I "act anxious" That is because of Tardive Dyskinesia that developed during my with drawal. I have body movements I that are hard to control and restlessness.  She ordered blood work which will be back sometime next week. I asked for a chest x-ray and she said it was normal. Never the less, I'm still intermittanly short of breath and it's getting more frequent. What can I do in the meantime?   It's very uncomfortable. How can I relieve it?  Is shortness of breath a withdrawal symptom of Wellbrutrin that will go away soon?

I didn't ask him that but in my research I learned that it might. That's what I'm hoping for. Thanks for responding.
I tried to post this on the Dr forum with more information but I think I messed up. Oh well. greystray

wow, not sure how to help you there, maybe lots and lots of water and sweat it out in a steam room. Question regarding the tardive dyskinesia, -- is that temporary? Did the doc say that would go away once the anti'd is out of your system?

Thanks
