> Wellbutrin: Take it with at least a little food. I used to throw up too, when I tried to take it on an empty stomach. If you're comfortable regulating your own meds, you also might like to taper on, dose ONCE/day for a week and THEN TWICE/day. Wellbutrin doesn't require a big taper period, but side-effects will definately be stronger if you don't!

> > I stopped effexor xr at 150mg about 6 days ago. I had three days of no meds and i was a wreck. That all too familar dizzy fuzzy, electric feeling but i also had the most horrible nightmares! I had strange dreams while on effexor but none like when i stopped. I started wellbutrin three days after being off effexor and i almost instantly felt sick and like i wanted to bite someone's head off. My doc didn't do any gradual dosing it was staight to 150mg 2xday. I've felt sick a couple hours after taking each dose to the point of throwing up. I haven't taken the wellbutrin this morning and i am not irritated but still feeling a little sick. Are these symptoms withdrawal from the effexor or are they from the wellbutrin. Honestly i think i feel better without any of this in my system.
