Hello Axle, i've not had specific experience with getting off of wellbutrin but I have had experience getting off of klonopin, zoloft and buspar. I did slow tapers one at a time to get off of them, which is the recommended way to do it. If you have only been on it for four weeks it should not take too long to get off of it and your body has probably not become too dependent on it. It's best to work with your therapist or physician when you are doing it so they can monitor you.

My personal experience was that taking the meds just reduced my anxiety it did not eliminate it. Therapy, educating myself about anxiety to understand it and why I had it and learning to accept the feelings and fearful thoughts was required.
