> I am new to Wellbutrin. I have been forcing myself through the side effects so that I can say I gave it a fair shot. I started out taking the Wellbutrin SR 150mg once a day. The side effects were very uncomfortable, but nothing like you guys are describing. I experienced a strange sort of fatigue and a tenseness in my chest and throat. I also find I have the most awful taste in my mouth!!! I finally got to the point where I didn't notice it so much...then I started taking it twice a day. This started the whole set of side effects again.
> Just a few days ago, I was given samples of Wellbutrin XL 300mg. I really like the once a day thing, but these side effects are really hard to get used to. I'm hoping they will diminish soon. But that nasty taste is still in my mouth. Anyone else notice this?
I forgot to mention that with the Wellbutrin XL my eyes are extremely dry and red and I stay thirsty. Along with the XL I was also put on Effexor for my nervousness/anxiety and sleeplessness, so I'm not sure which medication is causing it.
