Yes, those are possible side effects of Wellbutrn XL. I would hope your
doctor gets back with you promptly because it may not be titrated correctly
for you, or he/she may have to start on a once a day regeim until you are
accostomed to the medication. Or as you stated start you on a low dose of
immediate release. I have been seeing the same Psychiatrist for 7 years
and she is wonderful about titrating my meds. Not all doctors are. Make
sure this doctor is attending to your needs. Take care and keep!

Oh, in addition...gastric bypass people normally DO NOT do well with time
released medications something your doctor should be aware of now! You may
not get the full effect of the antidepressent relief because of absorbtion
factors, also.

Yes, it is most likely the Wellbutrin XL. We do not do well on the timed
relase stuff & it also may be a lack of Water in you system. Drink
More, You could be dehydrated & this will cause the dizziness. Do not
wait, make sure you Doctor is aware of this & please remind him of the
surgury you had, & to switch back to the regular Wellburtin or switch
to Lexapro.

Hi there,
WE post ops simply cannot take time relesed meds. Or NSAIDS or ibuprofin.
THere was a great list somewhere that gives the meds that we no longer are
able to take, Iam sorry I have lost info from various reinstalls on the
pc. But search it, Hope this helps! your symptoms sound like what I ahve
gone through in the past with not taking antidepressants suddenly, you may
be ingesting it but it is not being processed by your new plumbing???
Dehydration also causes dizzyness, headache, nausia, floating foggyness.
