It is possible that bupropion (Wellbutrin) may cause your symptoms of tremors and joint pain. Please contact your provider and pharmacist to report the adverse effects and have them confirm by conducting a complete medication review, including prescription, over-the-counter, and any dietary and herbal supplements.
Some of the common side effects of bupropion are headaches (26%, compare to 23% of placebo), dry mouth (17%, compare to 7% of placebo), insomnia (11%, compare to 6% of placebo).

Other medical/psychiatric conditions I have are hypothyroidism and bi-polar disorder/depression for which I take levothyroxine (Synthroid), divalproex (Depakote) and bupropion (Welbutrin). The medication information for the Medrol dose-pack states cautious use in those with hypothyroidism, psychiatric history, being treated with an anti-convulsant, and on bupropion, as it could produce mood changes and affect the seizure threshold.
Hi, and welcome to the forum. Neuropathic pain is difficult to treat and we were lucky enough to have a pain management doctor wrtie up to Health Pages on the subject. Please click on the two links below. the first one is explaining what neuropathic pain is and the second is describing how to treat it and explaining why you want (actually NEED) to go slow. No one WANTS to go slow, of course.

I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of pain relief I could take with sertraline(zoloft) and Bupropion XL(Wellbutrin XL). Thank you.
Is anyone getting ringing in the ears from taking Generic Wellbutrin(Bupropion sr ) 150 mg. Here is my situation I have been on amitriptiline 25 mg 4 years then went up to 50 mg for 3 years. I started taking only one 150 mg of bupropion sr this is my 5 day. Can I stop taking the amitriptiline with no withdrawls after only 5 days of Bupropion? or has it not been long enough. I hoping that I can stop the amitriptiline by taking the bupropion sr in place of the amitriptiline.
He learned that the MSIR, given for the cancer treatment pain, was able to manage the neuropathic pain. There has been no etiology determined for the neuropathy. His Lumbar puncture was normal except for elevated protein. His skin is very hot when his pain is bad, & he is lightheaded & unsteady.
Hello, I was looking for some treatment options for General Neuropathic Pain as the only diagnosis my dr can provide me after negative EMGs both upper and lower extremeties and complete work up including MRIs, bone scans, x-rays, and blood tests.
My pain is debilitating sciatica like in both legs and ulnar nerve pain in both arms from shoulder down to the pinky fingers which feels like tightness in so many muscle groups. Pain for 2 years without answer or any treatment to help.
I hope someone can shed light on this. I have been experiencing neuropathic pain for 8 months after taking vitamins and supplements. My initial symptom was twitching in my left calf. This progressed with pins and needles sensation in more of my left leg. A week or so later I had similar symptoms in my right leg as well as significant numbness in my right thigh. Next I experienced parenthesis across my mid back at about th mid-thoracic level.
It could be neuropathic, though an unlikely possibility. Neuropathic pain can be managed with medications or nerve destruction.
3. Likely possibilities include referred pain from other regions, infections, inflammations, chronic irritation etc.
It would be best to get this evaluated by a urologist or an internist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
I am suffering from I believe depression I have problems sleeping this has recently started wierd thoughts and its very disturbing, I feel said and hopeless my doctor put me on Bupropion and I felt better the first day the next day I eel over active different? Have any one taken Bupropion and whats your reactions?
My husband has been taking Bupropion HSL SR 150mg for a few months and it doesn't seem to be working as well as the Bupropion XL 150mg he was taking for a few years before he was switched because, the pharmacy said, they could not get the Bupropion XL 150mg at that time. My husband has dementia. He takes the Bupropion in the morning along with his Aricept and Exforge (for blood pressure). He gets drowsy right after taking his pills and I think it may be the Bupropion HSL SR causing this.
I'm currently on 300 bupropion, along with topamax 100 and still have had no weight losse. I just started the 300 bupropion after being on 150 last week and have already had crying spells but this was the week of my period so I was thinking I just could be "emotional". Before I was on Zoloft 25-150 bupropion but I ate to much on it, I'm hoping for weight loss but every antidepressant I take makes me eat what to do I do??
Pain descriptions can vary widely according to the individual, however it is possible that you may be suffering from neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain can have many different causes. Among these are a group of disorders called entrapment neuropathies. As your nerves travel along the length of your arm, they are vulnerable to injury at specific sites where normal ligamentous and bony structures are predisposed to compression.
Certain antidepressants have been shown to be very effective in neuropathic pain independent of their antidepressant effects (meaning the chemicals affected by these medications help treat the neuropathic pain). These include elavil, doxepin, and others. Topical doxepin and caspasin cream are also helpful for neuropathic itching. Anti-seizure medications found to be useful for neuropathic itching include neurontin and lyrica.
