I don't think my anxiety from Wellbutrin is gone.  Today is bad.

The difficult part is knowing if the anxiety is from the Wellbutrin or "life". I would keep communicating with my doctor and keep a journal. It helps tremendously to look back and see how you are doing and where you started from. Todays anxiety won't last forever...I promise.

Good point! I want to start a journal. I used to write in one every day for years but stopped. I tried to write, but it became the same entry every day..."feel horrible, tummy hurts, lots of pain, please make it stop...". It was depressing to write and read!

I SO messed up over the weekend.
I'd finally had it with being backed up. So, Saturday night I took a mega-dose of NC. I had D ALL DAY Sunday. It wouldn't stop! I was beginning to wish we had a bidet. At least I felt "cleaned out" by the end of the day...
Skipped my NC dose last night, but I'll take it tonight. I took my last dose of Effexor yesterday, so hopefully things will begin to settle down now.
How are you doing?

Oh, I'm sorry.
I skipped my dose of NC last night and I am in pain today. If I don't go at least a little bit everyday, I bloat and hurt really badly. It's like my body is super sensitive to any pressure in my intestines.

I know the feeling; there's only so much room in there!!
Today is better. Not sure if this is a coincidence: yesterday and today, I have been Effexor-free - and I have had multiple BMs each day!! This can't still be from my NC-induced D on Sunday. I'll need a few more days to be sure, but could the Effexor really been giving me C THAT badly?? At any rate, today has been a good day!

I spoke too soon; I'm now feeling like I was hit by a truck. This came on very suddenly, a sort of vertigo / nausea thing. Wow do I feel awful. A pharmacist just confirmed my suspicion that it's withdrawal from dropping the Effexor too quickly. So I need to add a small dose back in for awhile. Double Ugh.

Oh, geez. Not what you needed. This is something I fear for the future. I know Effexor is suppose to be one of the tougher ones to stop taking.
How much longer do you have to take Effexor? How small can you cut the pill? I have a pill cutter that really helps.

tell me about it! i'm still feeling it today. i doubt i'll last more than half a day at work. yuck. the pharmacist told me to take half of a 75 mg pill once daily for 5-7 days. they're really easy to break in half. he said if the symptoms don't go away in a few days to call back so we can make sure it's not connected to the wellbutrin, though that's very unlikely. Remember, I was taking 225 mg/day of Effexor! I assume that's a fairly large dose.
