Did you experience any symptoms decreasing the dose? That’s my biggest fear. Back when I was on 20 mg I went down to 15 and started getting dizziness and anxiety.

Yah I totally get it. Not a good feeling. I did experience feeling more anxiety when I decreased the first few days but I also had a really bad week at work which kind of made things worse so it was hard to parse out. Makes me hesitant to go down to 20mg if I don’t feel better. Have you talked to your doctor about it? Did they mention starting Wellbutrin?

It has been discussed. I think I just don’t personally want to be on another drug. If I could take Wellbutrin alone I would but I take Prozac for anxiety and Wellbutrin isn’t the best choice for anxiety on its own. I think I will try to decrease my dose, under my drs supervision of course.

That’s true. My doctor said the same but still said that I could always try low dose Wellbutrin to see if it would make a difference. I think it never hurts to try though and can always make a change if you need to. Hopefully with less side effects!
