I have been taking 75mg effexor and 300mg Wellbutrin. I\'ve stopped the effexor and am experiencing all of the side effects that have been discussed here. I am continueing the wellbutrin. It\'s been 5 days--I thought I was going crazing when it seem as though I was hearing my eyes moving (brain zaps I suppose). In answer to your question--Wellbutrin does not stave off the withdraw symptoms.
