What Causes Severe Fatigue And Depression While On Wellburtin?
I am currently on Wellbutrin for smoking cessation and although I already have a decrease in desire to smoke I do not like the way it is making me feel. Very tired, depressed, not really all there . How would Chantix be different and would I need to wean myself before switching.

Hi,
These medications can be taken together so you do not need to stop the Wellbutrin prior to starting the Chantix.
You would need to wean off the Wellbutrin but it would be best to speak to your doctor to find the discontinuation schedule since it depends on the length of time taken and the dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
