> > 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!

You're going to get different side-effects, tho, I was on Wellbutrin alone not during withdrawals from Effexor. Effexor w/d's are miserable, give it at least a week to get over Effexor before you give up. Effexor w/d's will take a wk or so to go away altogether, and can include dizziness nausea, twitches, fluish feelings, etc.
Hang in there...
