What Causes Pain In The Upper Abdomen While On Wellbutrin?

I m having upper abdomen pain, which increases at night and can keep me awake but I do have during day as well on and off. Have had several upsetting incidents over last month with family members. I have general anxiety disorder, and take low dose of wellbutrin, otherwise no other meds. Could this be an stomach ulcer?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Wellbutrin rarely causes gastritis but you may be suffering from gastritis, food intolerance or Peptic ulcer disease. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Avoid spicy food, alcohol, smoking and caffeinated drinks.

Anxiety itself causes peptic ulcer disease. Do yoga and meditation, use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
