I have been on it a while and have not noticed any but we started really slow and worked up. We did try going to the max dose this winter (450mg) when my SAD started and they thought I might be having petite mal seizures so we lowered it back to 300mg and I have been fine.

I did try Wellbutrin for depression and got hand tremors and a feeling of lighteninggoing through my brain at night. It is in the atypical group of anti-depressants. Maybe I should have taken it longer to be adjusted to it, but the side effects were not good. I do know it is one of the few anti-depressants which do not suppress orgasm in women.

I found wellbutrin to be great but it exacerbated my eating disorder at the time, so I was taken off of it.

I haven't had any negative side effects. It really helps my depression and oddly enough my anxiety as well. I take 200mg

Vossie42, The Wellbutrin info says it's not supposed to be given to people with an Eating Disorder - surprising you were even prescribed that.

I briefly tried Wellbutrin on a low dose, and first day had a hand tremor at the computer and a sense of warning made me stop. No drug should do that so soon; although I will add by the first day on it my mood had elevated, also cognition was sharper and faster. Good luck!!
