Hello Noa:
If the effexor is not working and you want to taper off w/less "withdrawl", do what I did. I took prozac 20mg for two weeks as a cushion. If I remember correctly, I just stopped the effexor or tapered quickly. W/ the long half-life of prozac, it really helped. I had no problems getting off effexor. Also, I'd stay with the lithium and add the wellbutrin (long acting). It's in and out of your system pretty fast anyway, so if the dr wanted to add a stimulant it could be done pretty quickly. But as far as I can remember, the lithium worked well for you and it is not really in the "poop out class" like the ssri's etc...
best wishes and blessings,
S. Suggs
