I have been tapering off of Effexor XL for about 2 months (have been taking it for about 4 years, 150mg). Everything has been going well, although I did notice that when I went to 37.5 my anxiety was a little elevated, but not a big deal. So 6 days ago, my DR decides to switch me to Wellbutrin XL 150mg since I'm starting to feel depressed and anxious again. 2 days later, I'm dizzy and so anxious that I'm close to having panic attacks and I can't sleep. I thought that this was a side effect of Wellbutrin so I call my DR and she switches me to Lexapro 10mg. Now I find this forum and have been reading all about the effexor withdrawal and am wondering if I'm experiencing withdrawals from effexor or side effects from the wellbutrin.
Has anyone had this experience and what did they do? also, does anyone have experience with wellbutrin and/or lexapro? I need to take something but don't want to get into another heavy withdrawal situation. I haven't actually started the lexapro yet, just picked it up today. Any advice/knowledge would be extremely appreciated.

Welcome! And sorry if it's confusing here, but I'd like to redirect this thread to Psycho-Babble Withdrawal. Here's a link:
