What Are Some Substitutes Of Wellbutrin Which Do Not Cause Frequent Urination?
I have been taking Wellbutrin with Cymbalta for the past year, and have frequent urination and dry mouth. I have to get up 3-4 times a night to go to the bathroom. I have not experienced that much of a difference adding the Wellbutrin to my anti-depressant. I am considering stopping my 150mg/day dose, and I have an appointment in a week to discuss it with my psychiatrist. Wanted to get your opinion. Will he decrease my dosage or is it one a person can stop immediately. What other meds are available in the same class as Wellbutrin, which don t cause that (frequent urination) side effect?
