So, I decided to quit smoking with Zyban (bupropion). I was on Effexor CR 75 milligrams. My doctor knocked it down to 37 mg and told me to take them for a week and then just start right in to the Bupropion (150 mg). I took the first dose 3 days ago. I had no withdrawal symptoms from the Effexor. On the second day I had a really horrible day (emotionally) and felt little brain zaps. It was like I could feel them coming on. They would last just a second and then 10-20 minutes later it would happen again. Ok, I felt those same zaps tonight. So, I took the second dose of the Bupropion. Now it’s smaller zaps. I know this is hard to explain but if you’ve ever experienced this please talk to me? Any advice??
It’s like when you see someone who’s coming off some hard drug and their body just shakes all of a sudden. Weird. Help!?!
Now I’m taking Bupropion twice daily.
