> Dear Tiffany,
Scotts right, 5 weeks is plenty. when i first began wellbutrin i was as irratible as he sounds--it was a nightmare both for others and myself. i didn't like myself being so angry but i really couldn't help it somehow. if i said nothing i would simply fume so i was very relieved to stop it immediatly. i don't remember tapering off, but i suggest that your husband do so, to decrease any withdrawel he might feel. also do not give up on wellbutrin for him to stop smoking. i have a feeling that his prescription is simply too high a dose and lower doses might actually work as well without the irratibility. when i went back on it, this time to stop smoking, (at first) i was prescribed 2 purple pills, one in the morning and one at night. it gave me terrible side effects and i cut the night dose. it made no difference in cutting out the addicted feeling to cigarettes. talk to the doc, now. ive written more of my history with wellb. under the thread, HELP IM NEW TO WELL. . .--my post is at 10-26 titled "i don't know why i erase these titles" hope this helps, laural
ps, don't give up on your husband--this is definitely not him but the drugs influencing him--
