Is skipping a dose of Bupropion advisable?
human
I am taking 150 mg of Bupropion xl one time daily. Began this med 17 days ago. I seem to be having several of the side effects...dixxiness, constipation, tremor, blurred vision. A week ago I was in the doctors office with extreme acidity and constipation. At that time my blood pressure was elevated. Very unusual for me since it generall runs low normal. Sever days later, in the office for a follow up, my blood pressure was 67 over 40something. I left a message for the doc on Friday so hope to get a call tomorrow, Monday but after reading that these are symptoms of the side effects of this med want to skip the dose I would normally take tomorrow morning until I talk with the doc. Is that ok?

Hello,The dose of 150 mg, not a very high dose, and it should be tolerated with ease. But if you are not able to tolerate its side effects, then you can reduce the dose without worries. You can skip the dose and, then discuss with your doctor once you get an appointment.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
