Hi:
I too have 'occasional' GI problem, ... mine is mostly 'stomach upset,' so called 'acid reflex' problem.
Before taking Wellbrutrin SR, I did NOT have this problem, then my superior suspicion is to be 'Wellbutrin SR.' This med. works GREAT on my depression along with ADD that brought on by my Bp II. Then, I can NEVER afford to eliminate this med., even though I know there are other med. similar to WB, but WB is #1 med. in those areas.
In my case, I took Prevacid that helped me a great deal before Bp II, ... but after Bp II with med. combo., this med. offers me nothing but 'dizziness' along with 'slight nauseous feelings.'
So, currently I've been taking 'Maalox'/Max. whenever acid reflex started 'flare-up.' Luckily, after having got used to WB sr, it's started more miler discomfort.
In my guess, your problem might be getting better as your system gradually accomodates your med. regimen.
As for a note, ... in order to avoid 'acid reflex' problem, I eat 'well-cooked' meals as much as possible. Also, try to avoid salty and spicy foods, especially around the bedtime.
