I have been on 150 mg of Wellbutrin XL for a little more than 3 weeks. I am also taking 100 mg of Lamictal a day just upped that dose yesterday from 50 mg both to treat bipolar disorder (which I am not thoroughly convinced I have!) I can't tell which drug is causing which side effect, they both cause a lot of the same things. I have experienced strange dreams and horrible nightmares, itchy skin, hair loss (which I believe is from the Lamictal), acne on my face, back and shoulders, extreme mood swings and irritability, extreme fatigue, difficulty with hand-eye coordination, difficulty with words (speaking and writing), generally fuzzy headed, dizziness, waking at night with a pounding heart, joint and muscle soreness, heavy period that has lasted a lot longer than normal, stuffy nose, hacking cough and that about does it.
Basically, it sucks and I want to go off at least the Lamictal and see if the Wellbutrin is kinder on it's own. I just don't think this is going to work for me. It's been pretty rough the last few weeks, I hope I can come up with something I can tolerate.
good luck all!

Overall I'm feeling much more positive, capable of doing things, better emotional assessment and judgement. One side effect, though, is my breathing. I feel a slight tightness in my chest, almost light wheezing, but not exactly, and I feel like I've got to cough lightly to clear my air passage. Has anyone experienced this? Any insights are appreciated.

I started taking Wellbutrin generic a month ago. I noticed having chills, a cough and mucus in the back of my throat. I am also dizzy. It feels like I have an ear infection.
