What causes lightheadedness and nausea after having Wellbutrin?
human
I took my 300mg Wellbutrin today for the first time in four days. The past two days I have been feeling lightheaded, nauseated, and have had a horrible headache. I understand this is from withdrawal. Is there anything I need to be seriously worried about?

Hello thanks for asking from HCMWellbutrin is Bupropion and this drug belongs to antidepressant class drugs. Some individuals when started in high doses like 150 mg twice a day (300/day) this results in rebound increase in anxiety with symptoms like lightheadedness, nausea, dizziness etc symptoms. As per my opinion you should reduce the dose to 150 mg per day instead of 300 for first few weeks and the symptoms will go away. Consult your psychiatrist for dose changes.Thanks. hope this helps you.
