[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 41877, member: 2423"] Oceans, I'm sorry things are heading a tad south. I have no experience with Wellbutrin. You should google "Wellbutrin withdrawal" and see what you come up with. You should also check [url="http://www.crazymeds.org"]http://www.crazymeds.org[/url] to see what is written there. I will tell that when we took my difficult child 2 off Paxil (an antidperessant NOT in the same class as Wellbutrin), she felt very sick (headache, nausea, dizziness and diarrhea) for two weeks. The symptoms resolved once Paxil left her system, although we were left with mood instability for several months and needed to treat that with mood stabilizers. Your difficult child's Lamictal dose is still low. Therapeutic dose is probably closer to 200 mg daily. You may need that to be the next medication change, although you should only make one change at a time so you know what is doing what. We recently tried to make some medication changes for difficult child 1 and ended up scrapping plans when his mood started to plummet. We decided to wait until summer when he won't have to deal with school on top of feeling out of sorts until medications stabilize. Hope you are able to sort things out soon. [/QUOTE]
