So, I have been on 150 of Wellbutrin XL for around 8 months now. The first 6-7 months were pretty good, but the past month or so, I have been having some issues. I have tried both generic and brand name versions.
Headache Sweating in the middle of the night at times Very tired No drive it feels like Very sore muscles and joints Feeling of ''bouncing up and down'' after I have walked somewhere, especially at work Muscle cramps in my feet that wake me up, and can't seem to get rid of Can't seem to get a good nights sleep due to the muscle pain, especially in the upper trap region and lower back. Feel like the Tin Man. Always clearing my throat Sudden anxiety that comes out of nowhere and a lot of impatience and anger
Just wondering of anybody else has heard of this around 8 months down the road of using this drug? I talk to my Doctor this week, and I think I am going to go off of it.

It could be a number of reasons besides the Wellbutrin and it could be the Wellbutrin. You need to discuss this with your doctor before discontinuing the medicine. I took Wellbutrin for a while and had no serious side effects. But it is different for each and every one of Us. The doctor will possibly run test to see if there's anything else wrong physically. Sometimes we panic thinking of the side effects and afraid that we're going to experience some of these side effects and quickly blame the medicine for what could be something else causing the condition. And it could be the amount that you're taking. Your doctor might want to lower the dosage are or start you on a different antidepressant.. if he thinks you still need an antidepressant. Just try not to worry so much about it. Some of your symptoms I've had but was not related to any antidepressants I was taking at the time. Please give me an update on how things are going? God Bless
