In reply to Wellbutrin SR...Dizziness in waves, slight nausea, posted by KTee on July 30, 2001, at 4:55:14
KTEE,
I have never been on Effexor, but have used Wellbutrin for about 3 years now. you didn't mention your dosage. I take 150mg SR twice daily. Yes, at first, as your body adapts to it, Wellbutin can cause a few negative side effects. They are very much dose-related, and most DO subside or can be moderated by other meds. Main side effects are: sleep problems, chest pain, neck pain, tachycardia, dry mouth, nervousness and a general "speedy" feeling. Wellbutrin does work well to lift your mood if SSRIs have pooped out on you or casued too many other untoward effects. Give it at least a week to adapt to the side effects, and 3 weeks to appreciate the full theraputic effects. Let me know how you do.
