I took 300mg a day for neuropathic pain before I started Atkins. It didn't help me lose weight--in fact that is when I gained about 70 pounds. I was weaned off it, but I don't remember having any withdrawals. My body can handle massive loads of drugs, though. I have been on as much as 17 prescriptions at a time, 32 pills a day, heavy duty stuff, so don't go by my lack of withdrawals. At any rate, you would have to be weaned.

I went on Cymbalta after the Wellbutrin, and it has done me more good than any other drug, and my body hasn't acclimated to it so I have to keep increasing the dose or switch drugs like I used to.
