Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath And Confusion While On Wellbutrin

I have withdrawn from effector (several weeks ago) after taking it in combination with wellbutrin. I am still taking wellbutrin, but am having some symptoms (particularly upon waking up). These symptoms include feelings of suffocation and mental confusion sort of like a panic attack. Once I am fully awake, most of these symptoms disappear,except for occasional feelings of shortness of breath. Could these symptoms be due to withdrawal, and should I continue taking the wellbutrin?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You have withdrawn from Effector several weeks, the drug has left your body & you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms. You need to get clinically examined either by a GP or in a detox center & get treated for your symptoms so that you stay comfortable.

If you want to withdraw from Wellbutrin you are suggested to do it under a detox center or a GP.

You will be asked to taper the dose. As the medicine leaves your body within 4-5 days you will experience withdrawal symptoms which need to get managed and medically attended to so that you are comfortable while the withdrawal is successful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
