I am on Paxil Sr 37.5 mg and Wellbutrin 100 mg. I am not stopping my meds but have gone 3 days without due to not being able to get to the pharmacy. I have felt no ill effects yet and will get to the pharmacy today. Does this mean when I do try to come off of them (if I do) I will have an easier time with the adverse effects?? Just wondering!

It's hard to say. You'd think that it would be easier for you, but medicines affect individuals differently even at different periods in their lives. In other words, you were able to go without medicines and suffered no side effects now, but in a year, if you tried to do the same thing, you might have some side effects. It's really up-in-the-air. Ask your pharmacist about it while you're there... he/she may have some kind of answer for you.

P.S. I hope the delay in medication refills was a one-time occurrence for you? The body is easily confused when medicines are stopped and started or doses are skipped, so try to avoid doing this. You probably already knew this.... Anyway, good luck with your medicines! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it. I also spoke too soon. Here it is Thursday and I just started taking the meds again and I feel HORRIBLE. I am dizzy, tired, nauseated and just feel BLAH. I will make sure not to have these problems again. I hope that my body does not react differently to the meds sincee I have been off of them for a week. They were working well for me.
