In reply to Zyban and eye twitch, posted by Alison27 on February 2, 2001, at 11:12:29

Hi Alison.

As you know, Zyban is another name for the same drugs Wellbutrin and bupropion, commonly used as antidepressants. It is not a Prozac-type drug. Twitching and tics, although uncommon, are reported side effects. Bupropion has been known to make tic disorders worse. I don't know if these side effects are dependant on dosage, so I can't say whether lowering the dosage would help. Maybe the side effect will dissipate with time.

Good luck.

> Hi - I have read your comments with interest. I am 30 yr old English lady and have developed a twitch in my left upper eye lid around the central eyelashes. It had not occured to me that it could be to do with an anti-depressant. I am on Zyban, to stop smoking.. which has worked. It is however, a mild anti-depressant. Could the messages about Prozac and this link to another similar medicine mean there is an association between seratonin releasing medecines and a twitching eye?
