wellbutrin sideeffect: chestpain??

Posted by terra miller on February 11, 2001, at 16:55:57

i've just started on wellbutrin sr. i was at 150mg and my pdoc dropped me to 100mg for 5 days to decrease the anxiety/irritable features. i have had success with this, but the rage really does kick in about 3pm. hoping this wears off soon.

but the one really bothersome issue is this chest pain right under my sternum. there's some shortness of breathe at times. all this happens in combination with the time when the really shortfuse/rage kicks in. if i lose it and get really verbally mad at someone, then my chest hurts as well.

i have yet to read about anyone else having this sideeffect. please respond if you also have been through this and what you ended up doing. i would be very grateful.

i am on this for moodstability from PTSD/anxiety. it also pulled me out of a severe depression that i nosedived into while on a trial of zoloft for three weeks. i had moderate success with serzone before that until it stopped working, and a 5 wk. trial of effexor xr i had to quit before the serzone because of the irritability it caused. i have ativan for as needed. but our goal is to find a longer term drug so i need the ativan less and less often.

thanks for ANY replies.
