Have any of you experienced long lasting fatigue after coming off of Wellbutrin?

18 months ago I quit high dose prescription amphetamines and have been tired ever since.

But I was on roughly 300 mg of Wellbutrin too (since 2021), and I taper off in July (then used again for a few weeks in August before finally quitting for good)

Fatigue obviously substantially worsened after stopping Wellbutrin, but given that itā€™s been maybe 8 weeks Iā€™m surprised Iā€™m still sooooo tired.

I saw a neurologist and all he had to say was that I was on a lot of drugs that produce adrenaline and itā€™s going to take time to recoverā€¦

But my psychiatrist acts like after coming off Wellbutrin I should be fine in a few weeks.

Done every other test for fatigue imaginable, including sleep apnea, and they all come back fine.

Iā€™m off all other psych drugs except a 5 mg dose of Lexapro (been on for 20 years no problem) and Iā€™m eating well and trying to exercise more.

Still feel sleepy, find it hard to focus, and am unmotivated.

The only thing I can think of is that my brain is recovering from Wellbutrin (and maybe still stimulants)

Any thoughts or advice?
