> My pdoc told me to quit Wellbutrin cold turkey. I'm guessing since she told me it was ok, it's ok, but I'm wondering if anyone else has done this and what their symptoms were. I was on Wellbutrin for about three years...was on XL until last September than switched to SR because the generic is cheaper. Was on XL again for about a week, then the doc told me to stop.

That doesn't mean anything, though, as your biochemistry might be very much different from mine.
I should think that fatigue would be a problem.
You can either continue as you are and document for us your experiences (which would be very helpful) or restart it at half the dosage and reduce the dosage by 25mg every two days (just a guess).
Would there be any disadvantages to discontinuing the drug more gradually? If not, why suffer?
