I'm on here researching a different med, but couldn't help notice this thread on Wellbutrin. It's been about 7 years now since I was on Wellbutrin, but I am still enduring the consequences. Back then, there was not a word on the label about Wellbutrin (given to me to help deal with ADHD) and high blood pressure. Later they added that warning, but most people (and doctors!) miss it. I ended up in the ER on Wellbutrin with hypokalemia (low potassium), which can be fatal. It's a terrifying condition. The ER doc fixed the immediate problem with a potassium concoction, but ever since then my BP has been sky-high no matter what meds I take. Only exercise seems to help at all, and this despite having since then lost 25 pounds. I would consider my case an isolated event if not for the fact that since then two people -- one a person friend, another a client -- reported the exact same thing. They were on Wellbutrin for one reason or another, and ended up in the ER (one admitted for overnight observation). Do me a favor, folks: if this has happened to you, please email me using the "privately message this poster" link. Thanks!
