My husband was put on bupropion hydrochloride 100mg in september 2016. Within 3 weeks that dosage was upped to 150 mg, twice a day (300mg total). Then the first week of december 2016 the dosage was upped to 450 mg (highest dose ever given). He was to take 350 mg in the am and 150mg at 1:00 pm. Within one week on 450 mgs, his fingers in right hand are all numb! All fingers but thumb. He is right handed and cannot pick up anything. Very difficult to hold a fork - to shave - or to do anything! I am currently backing him off of bupropion and praying to god we can get back the feeling in his right hand! Unless your body is seriously pharmaceutical chemical deficient, I would most definitely try to get well without the use of chemicals. They, prescribed chemicals, have wrecked his life as wel...

IMy doctor switch from 75 mg of ic bupropion hcl to 150mg of ic bupropion sr I dont want to gain weight.People tell me wich is better. ## The only difference here is the dosage and the fact that the new one he prescribed for you is a sustained release tablet, which means you take one tablet a day and it is slowly released, rather than releasing all of the medication at once. The side effects, however, remain the same: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and headache. If you weren't gaining weight on it, then there isn't much chance that the new dosage is going to have that effect on you, either. Are there any comments or questions? ## I WOULD LIKE THE SIDR AFFECTS OF BUPROPION 150MGSR TAB WATTS

I decided to stop taking this drug and am experiencing extreme fatigue and dizziness. Is this to be expected? ## Yes, those can be typical withdrawal effects, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, fever, chills, rebound depression, and anxiety. How long have you been taking it and what was your dosage? Are you on any other medications?

I have been to a neurologist, a rheumatologist, i've been for an M.R.I., and also been for more blood tests than I can count. All because of side effects I had been having for nearly two years. Here are a list of symptoms I had while taking Bupropion HCL SR 150mg: *dry mouth, *severe headache, *increased sweating, *joint aches, *blurred/tunnel vision, *dizziness, *chest pain, *fainting/black out, *irregular heartbeat, *hearing problems/ringing in the ears, *agitation, *confusion, *anxiety, *shaking, *weakness, *hallucinations, *swelling/numbness in face, tongue & lips, *high blood pressure. My doctor's first concern was stroke. The neurologist ruled that out because the symptom of numbness/tingling would start in my mouth and move to my hand/fingers over the course of an hou...

I read the two drugs should not be combined and I can't find out why. I have been prescribed both of these and didn't know til now it might be harmful. Can you tell me why it is harmful to combine these two substances? ## I'm not finding anything listed about them being harmful if taken together. Have you tried asking your doctor or pharmacist about it? Where did you read that the combination was dangerous?

the most recent refill of bupropion a 101 has been leaving my digestive tract undissolved. my food is digesting as usual. what's the deal? ## Hello, Bobble! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and they list it as being a 150mg Budeprion XL tablet, which is most commonly used to treat depression and as a smoking cessation aid. That said, that is just the shell of the pill that's being expelled. That is normal with time released medications. But you are getting the full dose, just as prescribed. Typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have just started taking mylan bupropion and ever since I started I have been getting bruises all over my arms and legs. I've tried looking up side effects but nothing about bruising. My arm became very tender to touch then later bruised and the pain is getting worse. I also have another bruise with purple/blue dots around it. Is this something I should get looked at? ## Yes, Kiki! Please have this checked out by your doctor, as soon as possible. That may be the sign of a possibly serious side effect or reaction to this medication. How are you doing, now? Has it gotten any worse?

My dr prescribes 3 a day and my insurance will only pay for 2 a day. I cannot afford to pay for the rest of the medication ## Hello, Patsy! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. What dosage and formulation has been prescribed? There are various doses available, as well as time released formulations, so your doctor may be able to switch you to one of those, which may be covered by your insurance. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, nervousness and insomnia.

I would like to slowly begin to stop taking the Bupropion, what is the best way to do that? I take 150 mg 1x daily ## You're on the time released formulation, so you can just cut or divide the pills, since that may cause you to get too much of the medication at once. Learn more Bupropion details here. Have you consulted your doctor? They may be able to prescribe a lower dose to enable you to taper off of it to minimize the rebound effects.

Prescribed for depression ## For years on wellbutrin I've complained of chronic adult acne, insomnia, and tons of anxiety and uncontrollable carb eating problems. Many many doctors. Off the wellbutrin for 4 weeks - on my own, no anxiety, beautiful skin, weight loss, controllable eating and at last good sleep. I found this out on my own ## I took a ua and it came back positive for methamphetamine and I don't do any kind of drugs. can any of my meds cause this? I take wellbutrin bupropion 75mg and morph 30, nexium 40, gabapentin 400 ## The FDA lists this medication as containing the active ingredient Bupropion.

I've been taking bupropion XL 150 mg once a day now for 6 days now and as the day go on I have a strange feeling in my body kind of like some anxiety by the evening!! I also take 40mg of Fluoxetine daily. I've been taking 20 mg of the fluoxetine for 25 years with no side effects. But this feeling I get from the bupropion is not good. My Dr added it because the depression started coming back!! I also have dry mouth and a faint headache. Will these symptoms go away? ## Hello, Maud! How are you? Yes, these symptoms may go away, after a month or so, once your body gets used to the medication. In the meantime, you may want to talk to your doctor about splitting your dose of Fluoxetine, taking half in the morning and half in the evening, that may help. Is there anything else I can hel...

Does anyone else have Accord for the manufacturer? And do your pills smell like sulfur/rotten eggs? ## Yes! I just got my 150mg XL refill. the mfr is accord healthcare and they smell like rotten eggs. I'm not taking them. Going to try to get brand name. I didn't have this problem when I took 75mg twice a day. ## Some medications naturally have a smell due to the specific chemicals involved in their ingredients. You don't always smell it, however, because some manufacturers coat their pills to hide the odor. The FDA warns that Bupropion may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and dry mouth. Ref: Bupropion Information Is there anything else I can help with?

Will Bupropion hcl 100mg help with depression? I don't smoke. The doctor gave me this instead of adderall for adhd. Is it remotely the same? How long before it makes me feel even a little bit better? Thanks so much... ## Hello, Katgal2020! How are you? The FDA classifies Bupropion as an antidepressant that is also used to aid in smoking cessation. It is not approved to help with ADHD symptoms, but many people report it as being quite successful at helping with it and it isn't addictive like most of the other treatment options. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and mood swings. It will take about 4 weeks to reach its full level of effectiveness in your body to see if it works for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

Feedback about Watson Bupropion XL ## is Watson bupropion XL better than other brands? ## While Watson is generally sought out to be one of the more commonly known brands it doesn't necessarily mean that it is better than some others out there. Certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each brand, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. Because everyone is different, your body may agree with one medication over the other, due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves. When you switch brand names, the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the ingredients or fillers that they put with it. I hope this helps! ## There is really no way to say that one from any manufacturer is better than...

I am expercing left arm tingling and left leg pain, I am taking Hydroxyzine Pamoate 50 Mg, Bupropion Sr 150 Mg, Buspirone 15 Mg, Risperidone 1 Mg. Could these cause the Symptons I am Having? ## Hi Nikki, According to nih.gov (MedlinePlus), Bupropion Sr and Risperidone are both known to cause muscle or joint pain as a potentially serious side effect. Judging from your description, it sounds like your best bet would be to talk with your doctor about this concern to see if there are any other alternative options that can effectively replace either of those medications. Serious side effects can also be reported to the FDA's MedWatch program at: fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm You can learn more about each drug on the page for Bupropion Details and Risperidone Details I hope this inf...

Generic bupropion 75mg lavender tablet with gg 929 markings was miraculous for me. And i felt the antidepressant success almost immediately. Then i felt a need to increase to 150 mg by taking a second one 6 to 12 hrs later. I was also using percocet 5, prescribed for severe chronic pain. Suddenly, although weakened by running out of the percocet 5's, I FELT LIKE I WAS WEAKENED AND EXHAUSTED. COULD THIS BE A TEMPORARY SIDE EFFECT OF GENERIC WELLBUTRIN? The first time i took bupropion i experienced an increased energy level but i was taking percocet 5 for pain as well. ## Both Percocet, and Wellbutrin may cause tiredness, weakness, and drowsiness as side effects, they can also cause them as withdrawal effects. Ref: Percocet Information and Wellbutrin Information. That means it's d...

I’ve been taking bupropion xl 150mg for a couple months now and recently switching to taking 300mg. I had some left of the 150mg so my doctor told me to just take 2 til they run out if I want. Anyhow the manufacturer I’ve been taking is Lupin... my depression is under control for the most part, but the energy didn’t last longer than a week or 2. Also this brand has given me serious constipation and food cravings!!! Picked up my new prescription for 300mg by Mylan today. Will be starting that tomorrow... hopefully it works better than Lupin. Does anyone have any experience about Mylan? ## Those can be typical side effects, especially when your dosage is increased, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and nervousness. How are you...
