I am sorry for littering this forum with all my wellbutrin questions.

I was on wellbutrin 150mg for acouple months and about a week ago upped it to wellbutrin SR 300mg.
I have always been a little shaky in the hands but it seems worse, kind of alot worse. I can write okay however, holding items, you can see the shaking.My anxiety has seemed to go up, or atleast i have noticed it more. But even when i am at home ( opposed to being at work or by myself in public) i am still shaking so i don't think it has anything to do with nerves

I just want to make sure this is a normal side effect of the medication, maybe it will go away over time? But isn't a serious side effect. Has anyone experienced this. And how are you today.

Thank you everyone i feel like a nuisance with all these wellbutrin questions, sorry.

We are all different, for me, not so much with just wellbutrin, add zoloft to the mix and some times it seems I have involuntary shakes in the hands or arms, very brief. Wellbutrin can make me more anxious. I been taking it for 2 years and love the AD effect and it does help reduce fatigue, but I would be the first to admit it is not the best choice to reduce anxiety

Very true with the anxiety part

Sorry you are experiencing this. I had a bad side effect from something else and I know how that can be worrisome.

I've been on Wellbutrin XL at 300mg since Feb. and now up all the way to the max at 450mg. I have not had any side effects, including anxiety, which I would be sensitive to since I am prone to feel anxiety from PTSD. I did feel a little wired at first but not for long and it was an effect I actually wanted so I didn't really mind it.

I'm on Wellbutrin XL 450mg and I definitely have a tremor. I've been on this dose for a little over 2 years and it's never gone away. It's more annoying than anything...writing is sloppier and it's nearly impossible to hold things steady when I need to. Everyone always asks if I'm nervous. I hate it, but Wellbutrin has done wonders for my mood, so I'm hesitant to change to anything else.

What effect was it that you actually wanted that made you feel weird?

I wrote "wired" not "weird." I actually didn't want to feel totally wired, but just a little jump start since I was having trouble getting out of bed.

I have terrible shakes but I am on a lot of other things, besides Wellbutrin. I tolerate it because I need the meds.
