Q: Weaning Off Wellbutrin Xl

Hi, I just joined the forum. :)
i've been taking wellbutrin xl for depression for almost a year and a half. After the first two weeks of adjustment hell, it's been great! It's helped my anxiety as well as add (i've struggled with that since childhood). However, i'm trying to convert to a holistic lifestyle, and i'm studying some homeopathic and herbal alternatives. I know they're not fda approved, but I have a naturopathist who can evaluate and guide me. And if it does not work for me, I know the wellbutrin does work, so I can get back on it. I'm just trying to do what I feel is most healthy. I hate that I feel I have to justify that, but I get a lot of flack about this. So please don't respond to tell me the dangers of homeopathics. I know what they are; I also know the dangers of heavy chemical medications.
Sorry to sound rude, just being straight-up. :)

anyway.... What I would like to find is a plan for weaning myself off wellbutrin xl (300mg). I know it will not be a good idea to just stop taking it; I would go crazy if I did that. Can someone recommend a way to do this?

Thanks in advance. :)
