How long did symptoms take to go away? What were they?

I took Wellbutrin for about a year (300mg/day) and stopped cold turkey about two months ago after a health scare (drug interactions, panic attack, fainted).

It’s now been two months since I stopped taking the meds and don’t take anything else. I used to drink a good amount of coffee while on it and am trying to taper down coffee too.

For the last week or so, I’ve started feeling slightly light headed throughout the day. My BP has been low in the morning a few times but normal throughout the day and no issues with low blood sugar. I’ve been hydrating heavily and drinking electrolytes. Orthostatic test seemed fine too. It definitely feels worse after I go outside (>90F where we are). I’m going to completely cut down coffee to one cup a day starting tomorrow morning.

Im curious how long it took others to get over these symptoms (assuming they are related to stopping Wellbutrin) and if anyone has them appear a few weeks after discontinuing the meds?
