Can Both Prozac And Wellburtrin Be Weaned At The Same Time Slowly ?
after 3 years on Prozac and Wellburtrin xl,can my son ( 18 years old and never anxious, just upset about our divorce) wean off both meds at the same time slowly or is it better to start with one than move to the other. Does it matter which to start with?

Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Ivo Ditah's Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I will suggest that you wean him off these medications progressively and one at a time. However, talk to your doctor because discontinuing medications without talking to your doctor can have serious consequences. let your doctor evaluate your son fully and tell whether there is still need for this medication or not and establish a plan that would work best. Also, he needs to be followed up during this process to make sure he doesn't run into any withdrawal symptoms or her disease gets worse.
I hope you find this useful. I wish you well. Feel free to request for more information and ask ore questions should need be. Thanks.
