Lexapro to Welbutrin to Effexor....

Hi Sharon, Since I've only been on Welbutrin 13 days, my doctor didn't seem too concerned about weening off of it since my body's probably not too adjusted to it yet. I think what I'm going to do though is wait a few days to start the Effexor. I still feel so nauseus that the thought of ANY meds right now makes me feel queasy. Martha

Martha, The half life of Wellbutrin is approximately 14 hours, therefore when you stop taking Wellbutrin it would be out of your system in about 4 days. The your doctor say that the Effexor will counteract your weening off Wellbutrin. I was on Effexor for 3 months and I gradually increased the doze to 300mg. Effexor apparently has viewer side effects than other anti-depressants as this medication is for the elderly. Try and think positive and keep your chin up. Sharon

I'd been on Lexapro for over a year, and it had stopped working and made me very lethargic 24/7, so my doctor moved me to Welbutrin XL 2 weeks ago. Everything seemed to be going fine, but then I began to get nauseus. It got worse and worse, and yesterday I couldn't even function or get out of bed. As of this morning, doc took me off Welbutrin and prescribed Effexor. I am so terrified of getting sick like I did with Welbutrin, although she assures me side effects like that are uncommon. Anyone have any advice, suggestions, etc? I'm still so nauseus...how long til the Welbutrin gets out of my system? Thanks! Martha
