Tension headaches with Wellbutrin?

Question

Hi, they usually come after vivid dreaming at night...makes for a sleepless night. Would enjoy if anyone has similar experience, thanks!

Answer 1

I've taken Wellbutrin for years, both sustained release and regular and have never had any side effects.  I would recommend you notify your doctor of the side effects, how long they have been going on and how severe.  For instance if you have been taking it for 2 months and still are haveing adverse effects, it's time to try something else.  Whatever else you decide to do, call your doctor immediately.  He needs to know what's going on. (It's also possible that you are having a reaction between Wellbutrin and another medication or something you are eating or drinking.  In any case, call your doctor.)

Answer 2

I try wellbutrin for a wall,but had to stop taking it do to having really bad dreams. I couldn't take all those dreams. They would keep me up all night from the dreams.Maybe you need to have your Doctor to give you something elis to take.

Answer 3

One of Wellbutrin's side effects is headaches.  I don't know how long you have been taking it, but most side effects go away eventually.  A side effect of many mind/mood altering medications is vivid dreaming and sometimes insomnia.  Are you taking it in the AM?  If not, maybe you should ask your doctor if you can take it in the AM instead of PM.  If you are taking SR (sustained release), this won't be pertinent to your situation.  Just give your doctor a call.  Good luck!
