I say give it another 2-4 weeks and then go off if you're still having the same problems.
I added Effexor 150mg to the Wellbutrin I was already taking in order to reduce anxiety. I had some nasty side effects on Effexor for a few weeks, but after that the only problems I had were insomnia and libido problems. Otherwise I felt great on Effexor for about a month, but I guess the insomnia got the best of me because I've been really tired for the past few months. My husband told me that it was no wonder I was tired; I got more exercise tossing and turning in bed than I did during the day. I've been tapering down for the past week with no withdrawal effects.
Good luck. I hope you get rested soon!
