A member asked:

Due to finances i am going to have to go cold turkey on welbutrin and duloxetine. how long should the withdrawal be and how can i best get through it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is not advisable to abruptly stop antidepressant medication. Discontinuation side effects can include severe dizziness, headache, and nausea lasting approximately 1 week. Your doctor can help wean you off of your medications. Thank you for using HealthTap for your health questions!
