Hi,

While Wellbutrin is easier to discontinue than most other antidepressants and has either minimal or no discontinuation symptoms in most people, I would suggest that you do not take this decision without first discussing with your doctor. Stopping it is likely to increase your craving and increase your substance intake, as you never quit completely.

Best wishes.
