Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Joint pain is a common side effect of bupropion. It can also be due to any inflammation or infection of the joint. So consult with your physician. If I were your treating Doctor i would first rule out other causes by an X-ray. If no other cause is seen your doctor may change the drug. But don't stop medication on your own.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
