Wellbutrin works on two neurotransmitters in the brain. These are the chemicals that carry the information from one brain cell to another. Wellbutrin affects the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine inbetween brain cells, thereby allowing them to work "longer". I'm aware of Wellbutrin helping with fatigue thanks to the dopamine, but unaware of it helping joint pain.
