In reply to Wellbutrin XL side effects, posted by KAL on March 8, 2004, at 10:49:31
Many of the side effects you've noted are common with most antidepressants, though side effects vary with the person.
150mg is alot to start with. It might have been better if you'd ramped up slowly, from 75's to 150's, or even splitting 75's in half for 37.5mg.
I've tried Wellbutrin in the past for ADHD and it pretty much makes me want to crawl out of my skin/climb the walls. A little bit *does* help with erectile disfunction though.
Talk to you pDoc about going back down and then slowly titrating up in doseage...

> My doctor started me on Wellbutrin XL one week ago at 150 mg daily, to be increased to 300 mg daily starting today. I've been having lots of headaches, nausea, insomnia at night, difficulty staying awake during the day, significant sweating and my mouth gets extremely dry at times. I know these are all common side effects with Wellbutrin, but will these go away after I've been taking it for a while? Also, are these side effects an indication that it could cause a seizure in me or are they to be expected?
