How to wean off Wellbutrin?
human
I have been taking Trintellix 10mg for depression. My doctor recently added Wellbutrin to help me stop smoking. The Wellbutrin caused some side effects that are more troubling than it is worth. If I stop taking the Wellbutrin, do I need to taper it down as other anti-depressants, or will I be ok to just stop the Wellbutrin since I am still taking Trintellix. I have been taking Wellbutrin for about 10 days, Trintellix for several months.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Wellbutrin can be stopped without any taper as it rarely causes withdrawal symptoms. Since you have side effects with wellbutrin I do not see any reason for gradual withdrawal of wellbutrin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
