My son has been prescribed Wellbutrin. He is having a low-grade headache since starting a week ago. I assume this is a side effect. Any information on when the headache will go away?

Yep, a "low grade" headache describes it perfectly. As I recall, when I started taking Wellbutrin my experience was that the headache (which seems to be a common side effect of the medication) went away sometime during the second or third week of treatment. One other early side effect I remember having was difficulty falling asleep, but that also went away within the first few weeks. I have been on Wellbutrin for just over a year and my perception is that it has helped lessen my depression quite well. Best of luck to both your son and his caring mother.

Yes headaches and migranes are the most likely side effects of Wellbutrin.
