I’ll prob mention it to my doc when I go in to see her next week but I don’t want to stop the medicine so hopefully it goes away. Last time I was on this I didn’t have any tremors.
My anxiety is pretty calm.
I cooked dinner last night first time in a while I’m very health conscientious but when I’m depressed it’s hard to cook.
I did the dishes but now feel like collapsing on the couch. I hate depression. I’m usually an active person I feel guilty for not getting more done. I want my brain back.
Did anyone else have facial tremors on Bupropion?

I've had and may still have slight tremors in the past in my hands (no facial tremors). It was not noticeable until I tried to hold my hands steady or doing work in the lab, like loading a PCR or SDS-PAGE gel (that second one needs even more steadiness than PCR). I was on both Wellbutrin & Effexor, blamed the Effexor at the time, but it could have been the Wellbutrin. I know Wellbutrin makes me forget the names of common objects while talking or writing, just randomly. Tremors and most random word forgetfulness stopped when I got off Wellbutrin & Effexor (around the same time, so not easy to tell what did what).
Congrats on cooking the dinner. Meds help but definitely are not a cure-all.
