Have been on Cymbalta 30mg daily for a year. Started on Wellbutrin 50mg daily about 6 weeks ago to help with attention deficit. About 4 weeks or so ago I started having occasional muscle cramping in hands and feet. Yesterday I started with twitching of left eye. Last time I had the eye twitching it was the beginning of an allergic reaction to Prozac. I'm thinking even the low dose Wellbutrin may be too much. anyone else had this experience? I'm also starting to notice an increase in anxiety. Not sure if it's due to worrying about the cramping and twitching or the Wellbutrin itself. Any thoughts?

I've been on wellbutrin XL 150mg for just over 1 month. From day 1 I've had all different side effects. The first week my mood was fantastic, as well as my energy. But I hardly slept at all. I have headaches, but that has always been a problem for me. Then I started feeling tired and drowsy and had severe dry mouth. Now, over the past day or two I started feeling really sick. Very dizzy, nauseous, it feels hard to breathe and I have a headache that will not go away with Tylenol or Advil. I'm considering stopping it.

I have been on wellbutrin xl 150 mg for 3 yrs now. I had a lot of nervous anxiety for the first week that went away. For the most part I had a lot less depression, but it never completely went away. I did have marked memory loss in the sense that I cannot hold any more than one thought process going on at a time or they begin to float away from me. I did though,for a long time the first year have a heavy eye twitch that has since gone away, but that all beat the alternative. Never had any sexual side affects or weight gain. I actually lost a lot of weight on ww the 2nd year. Due to financial reasons I have had to switch to Prozac 20mg and I have suffered a severe migraine, then headaches. Low temperatures of 96.8 for 1 day then 97.1 the next w/ flu symptoms. This is only my 5th day on Prozac. Also swelling around my eyes, as well as a problem w/ orgasm. I don't know if it is the combination of the sudden switch from 1 to the other or if I should chicken out and just go back and pay for the wellbutrin.
