But I've been working on cutting my Effexor dose for a week now, and it's still dragging out. So it depends on the meds, but most do need some time for you to adjust.

Are you on multiple meds? Sometimes the effects stack or interfere with each other.
No, just the Xanxax that I took at 2am so that I could go back to sleep.

I tried Wellbutrin once to stop smoking and I felt like I was losing my mind so I stopped taking it after a few days. I eventually quit smoking successfully by using the patch.

Maybe the key to these drugs is to start out with a low dose and work your way up to the required dosage which for me would probably be 10 mg as I am very sensitive to medication and even vitamins.
