Strange Side Effect of Wellbutrin Posted: 03-11-06 11:34am
I didn't know what topic to pick. Anyway,
I just got put on Wellbutrin xl 300 mg,
and I'm having these weird effects not
mentioned on the side effects. It's hard
to explain, I just know it doesn't feel
right. It's like these waves of tingly
sensations from the top of my head to my
feet. It causes my heart to race a second
and then it's gone. It comes like seconds
apart but it's not constant. It also makes
me feel like i'm on drugs like speed. What
is this? Like right now i'm fine because I
haven' taken yet.

Wellbutrin is an antidepressant drug. The
side effect you’re experiencing could be
caused by this pharmaceutical, although is
not mentioned in the list of side effects.
The list of side effects of any medicine
is updated all the time. The tingly
sensations could be also caused by your
primary disorder:depression. You can use
Wellbutrin for a while and if the
unpleasant side effect continues, you can
proceed to your doctor for a consultation
and review.
