Day two off of effexor totally and no withdrawal symptoms. On my highest dose of effexor, I was bloated (from constipation I guess), felt numb (good in some ways:), couldn't sleep without a sleep aid, had horrible sweating. And then I started getting terrible memory loss. That might have been from the sleep aid. On the plus side, no anxiety and no depression. With wellbutrin so far the side effects are minimal. As a matter of fact the only one I've noticed is a bit of irritability. And I can really feel feelings again. I love that. I think it is okay to have an occasional mood swing. So so far I am happy with the switch. Hope it lasts. mel
