Pesonally don't see how wellbutrin could prevent withdrawal what about a low dose of prozac? Phillipa

I think Phillipa's suggestion about prozac is good. Depends how much withdrawal syndrome you may have. For myself, benydryl wouldn't cut it. I hear you that you would rather avoid the pdoc. Just take care. My effexor withdrawal (self-guided) lasted too long and I think, was not great for me in the long run. I'm on 50 pristiq, too. Cutting tabs doesn't seem to be a problem (I went from 100 to 50). The last bit of taper seems to be most difficult--however, I'm sure you know that. Good luck!
