Wellbutrin can cause blurred vision. I also experience this side effect and Wellbutrin is the only med. that I'm taking. I don't have the bottle infront of me but I think it does have a yellow sticker listing dizziness and blurred vision as a side effect.
I've been on the SR version for almost 3 weeks now so I'm hoping all the side effects will subside soon. I've read other posts which seem to believe that week 3-4 is the magic week for full benefit.
Like yourself I seem to fall in the rare category for side effects with some medications.
