I have been taking wellbutrin for migraine for 16 days. One 150mg. for the first 4 days, then increased to 300mg. twice a day at 8 hour intervals. If anything, it has been causing my migraines more often, and my pulse is high, 120, just sitting. I am wanting to go off of it and wonder if I could just stop taking it? Or, do I have to decrease it gradually? If, I do have to decrease gradually, then how do I do it with 150mg. tablets? I split one tablet in the afternoon yesterday and today, so have only taken 225mg. for two days, I have been told that I shouldn't be splitting them, that it could cause it to work faster instead of slower. I would appreciate any help I can get on this, thank you....God Bless...

NEVER NEVER split a sustained release Wellbutrin tablet! You will get immediate overdosing. Why Wb for migraines? No way! WB CASUES headaches. What moron prescribed that for you? Anyway, to answer your question, you can stop WB cold w/o any adverse effects. Just make sure you never stop something else like valium or drinking abruptly IF you take Wellbutrin. It decreases the seizure threshold.
