Avatar n tn As with all medications, you may experience side effects when you take WELLBUTRIN XL. Side effects may be more common shortly after you start treatment. The most common side effects with WELLBUTRIN XL are weight loss, loss of appetite, dry mouth, skin rash, sweating, ringing in the ears, shakiness, stomach pain, agitation, anxiety, dizziness, trouble sleeping, muscle pain, nausea, fast heartbeat, sore throat, and urinating more often.
Avatar n tn I have been on wellbutrin xl for 7 days now. The side effects I have are anxiety, dizzyand , dry mouth My doctor told me to take xanax with it until the side effects go away. Any idea when that will be??? I keep trying to take wellbutrin alone to see if the side effects are going away, but I usually end up taking the xanax a few hours in because I just can't handle al the jittering and other side effects I am getting. Should I hang in there a little longer of stop taking it?
Avatar n tn Is chronic sore throat and sinus inflammation a possible side effect of Wellbutrin XL 150? My doctor has been unable to clear up this problem with antibiotics, allergy medications, decongestants, expectorants, etc and the problem started within a few days of me started WB appx 6 weeks ago. Maybe it's a coincidence, but if not are these side effects transient? Thanks!
Avatar f tn XL seems to have a few more side effects...per http://www.drugs.com/pdr/wellbutrin-xl.
703852 tn?1233427763 Those are tough side effects to live with...ask your doctor about taking you off the xl and lowering the dose to see if you can acclimate to the medication without these side effects...you may have started too high.
4951398 tn?1365456743 I've never heard of this being a side effect of Wellbutrin. You may want to give your Dr or pharmacist a call. They will know if this could be a possible side effect.
Avatar f tn I have been on Wellbutrin for 3 days and have severe insomnia, constipation and dizziness. Will these side effects last long? Will they go away eventually?
Avatar m tn I also take Paxil for a sleep disorder (depression-related insomnia) and have for 11+ years. It works wonderously, but I gained 30+ lbs when I started the medication and have tried for years to lose it, unsuccessfully. I will lose some weight - and believe me, it takes an enormous amount of exercise and effort - but inevitably gain it back because Paxil makes my appetite so strong.
656309 tn?1224489859 I went from brands name Wellbutrin SR 150 mg once a day, which made me energized and active, to brand name Wellbutrin XL 300 mg once a day. Now I am sleepy, lethargic and there is no buzz or energy at all. What's up??
Avatar f tn Switching from a particular medication to another can definitely have some unwanted side effects in my experience, but for me, they tended to go away with time. You were on Paxil for a long time; did your doctor slowly taper you off and switch you to Wellbutrin? Have you discussed this with him/her?
Avatar f tn It was interesting to read your side effects comments. I am close to 3 weeks on Wellbutrin xl and am getting pretty darn frustrated that side effects are NOT subsiding: flushing constantly, like hot flashes, nausea, and muscle aches. I have stopped Rebif and was hoping to feel better, but this WB is no allowing that to happen.
Avatar f tn I wake up in the morning drenched. My doc and pharmacist both say it is a side effect of the Wellbutrin and that it should go away. It's been 3 weeks now and I am still sweating a lot! I take mine at night because I don't want it to affect my sleep. Although I see a lot of people take it morning...so I don't if I should be taking it at night .
Avatar n tn I spoke to a pharmasist who suggested stopping the effexor straight away and continuing with the Wellbutrin.
Avatar f tn I started the Wellbutrin XL 150mg about 2 weeks ago. No side effects, or positive effects - really, no effect at all. I just went up to the 300mg (it's been 2 days), and I want to make sure my side effects are normal. I have a call into my doctor as well. I have had a dull, constant headache. A little light-headed if I get up too quickly. Haven't been sleeping well, but that's not too bad. The worst symption I'm having is lower back pain...
Avatar n tn My boyfriend's doctor has just recently prescribed Prozac, Wellbutrin XL and Effexor for his depression. My question is, is it safe to take all of these prescriptions at the same time? My boyfriend is also having a hard tiome sleeping at night, he twitches and has a hollow feeling in his legs and arm that doesn't seem to be going away, what can he do?
Avatar m tn Do doctors stop Wellbutrin due to joint pain? I have been on this medication for 5 days & started to have joint pain and tremors today. Will these side affects go away? the medication has been helping but am having this joint pain/muscle pain and tremors.
Avatar n tn Since Budeprion XL’s introduction in 2006, numerous consumers who had previously been treated with Wellbutrin XL reported adverse side effects upon switching to Budeprion XL, including headaches, insomnia, nausea, and mood swings. Many patients also reported a loss of antidepressive effect.
Avatar n tn Side effects usually go away with time with antidepressants. They have a strong effect on the body so there is an adjustment period. .
Avatar f tn If you tell your dr that you do not feel it working they will either up your dose or try something new. For me I did not like the side effects or the feeling while taking wellbutrin. I am actually going to be changing my prescription. But anyways just speak with your dr. Im sure you both can come up with something.
Avatar m tn I take it mainly for ADD but when my do boosted it up to a 300 xl I could feel the brain cells slipping away. The way we got around it was a 150 xl dosage with a regular 75 around lunch. So far as how wellbutrin works, last I knew the jury was still out as some of it's affects are not entirely understood.
Avatar f tn My doc prescribed Wellbutrin XL since the Lexapro made my depression even worse, excessive sleeping, etc. My question is - can I still take 1 mg of Klonopin to help with anxiety, prevent panic attacks? I've taken Wellbutrin before for a bad depression and know that it makes a person more energetic but also jittery at times. Any advice? Could I combine Lexapro 10 mg with the Wellbutrin XL 150 mg? Thanks everyone!
Avatar n tn ve been on Wellbutrin for 4 weeks now and my sexual side effects have not subsided. I specifically chose to take Wellbutrin because of its reputation for rarely causing sexual side effects, because even while depressed I had a pretty healthy sex life. However, I recently read that studies have shown that, although less common than with SSRI antidepressants, Wellbutrin can cause sexual side effects, such as decreased libido and impotence.
10379139 tn?1409706165 I was very scared to try something new because Zoloft worked so well. I went ahead and asked my Dr if I could try something with less sexual side effects and she put me on wellbutrin 150mg xl. I have been on it for a little over a month and I feel horrible. My anxiety is overwhelming. I'm having panic attacks, sweating, over thinking, analyzing everything. And crying. I feel worse than ever and it's scary. I work in the medical field and I know how serious depression can be.
800430 tn?1237762624 XL helped me with the side effects, it reduced/eliminated them while I was increasing my dose.
