The only medication i take is Wellbutrin Xl low dosage. I don't know if this is actually FROM the Wellbutrin, but about 9 months ago, i developed urinary tract symptoms of chronic urination. I have to go to the bathroom dozens of times a day , and at night I get up 6-7 times to pee. Full bladder pees. I do drink more water during the day, as i get dry mouth from the medication, but this is not just related to water, because if i stop drinking more water, this will still occur. I'm in good health and my doctor told me I am too young to have urinary dysfunctions that come in older age. There is nothing found by ultrasounds. I Was wondering if anyone else on WELLBUTRIN XL is experiencing this as well. Also, recently I had a sudden increase in my blood pressure. I don't have a history of this. I am 49 yrs old, white female and in generally good health. I would not fail to mention that Wellbutrin XL is an excellent Antidepressant, the best of any of the others i have tried over the years. I am almost fully functioning, but still working on my issues. I actually have felt emotions that were happy and positive on a recent basis after many years of "numbness". this drug has not had any headaches, anxiety causing, that wheel spinning or disorientation those other antidepressants had for me. I had to stop taking more than 8 different antidepressants in the past. I'm just mostly wondering about urinary dysfunction issues. Please post if you are using this and having this.

Well this is interersting. I started taking Wellbutrin and a few days into it I thought I was getting a UTI as I had this sting of urgency to go to the bathroom. Then when I would go it would be fine. I don't have a sudden increase in having to go but a sudden increase in the urgency to go...does this make sense? I keep thinkign there is something else wrong with me: a cyst on my ovary (because it does kind of ache) etc. Do you think the wellbutrin is making me have these side effects?
