New To Wellbutrin Sr

Okay, I am hoping to get some help. I was on Pristiq 100 mg for the last three years. My insurance now is having a higher co-pay plus I have gained 25 lbs. So the PA switched my to Wellbutrin SR 150mg. It is day three and I feel awful. Very foggy and light headed. Well I found out from her nurse today, that I should not be having any caffeine when I take it. How long will this feeling last?? Anyone have words of wisdom. I am not hungry and that is the good thing. I want to try to stick it out.

Hi Mojo,

Everyone's body handles medication differently so there is no way to know when the side effects will go away for sure.If they haven't gone away in a couple weeks, you might want to speak with your doctor. Feeling light headed obviously isn't normal and may be a sign that your body is not happy with the medication, so I wouldn't stick it out for too long if it continues to be any issue. Have you experienced any confusion or trouble concentrating?

Is anyone else suffering from insomnia while taking Wellbutrin SR? I was very happy when I started it 10 days ago. The only problem is I can't sleep. I wake up every 2 hours and I'm going crazy. What should I do?
