The first two weeks were like weeks from hell. It was the most terrible thing I have ever went through.

I had withdrawal going from Wellbutrin to Effexor. I've been on and off so many things I just expect it all to be bad. Then if it's not so bad that's wonderful

Hope you are feeling better now.

How are you feeling now? I went from Celexa to Wellbutrin SR 100mg twice a day. I'm now on day 15 and am still not feeling that good. I'm going to ride it out for 4 weeks to see if there are any changes. But like you said, it's been hell. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Not what you're looking for?
