A member asked:
If welbutrin 150mg sr triggered extreme anxiety unresolved in 3 months of taking it should it be stopped, tapered off or dose adjusted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caution with taper: If a medication were being taken daily for several months, the brain may build tolerance such that rapid cessation could cause unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. In most cases therefore, doctors suggest patients taper off the dose gradually: by what increments and how quickly is best determined in coordination with the physician who initially prescribed the medication.
