In reply to Zoloft or Wellbutrin rollercoaster ride sensation?, posted by Katia on April 18, 2003, at 17:30:42
I felt terribly sick exactly as you describe when I stopped taking Paxil and Effexor. I stayed on the couch for a week, hating to move. Zoloft might have been the same, but I don't think it was as intense. I think I know what you mean when you say "mind shivers". Did you have these while you were taking the drug or when you stopped?
My main side effect from Wellbutrin was early in the treatment, I was very wired and everything seemed very intense, and I have memories just etched into my brain by the intensity. (This was on a high dose - 400mg). It did go away fairly quickly.
If you're still having this withdrawl, if it's possible, you may want to just take it really easy for a few days. Just lie down and have some 7 Up and saltines, and realize that it will pass and you'll feel better soon.
I hope this helps in some way. Good luck to you.
> I have just transitioned off of Zoloft after three months of no effect but only exhaustion as though every pore of my bones had heavy weights in them. I started on Wellbutrin SR two weeks ago (at the same time as tapering off of Zoloft). I started having those "mind shivers" again as I had with Effexor. So I stopped the WB SR too. I'm so sick of ADs!!!!! Now all I feel as though I just stepped off of one of those twirling rides at the amusement park. I feel soooo dizzy and nauseous, esp. when I do something abnormal! like physically MOVE my head!!! It's like my equilibrium is way off.
> Anyone else experience this either getting off Zoloft OR experience this as a side effect of WB?
> thanks.
