What Causes Severe Dizziness After Taking Bupropion Xl 150 Mg?

Hello, I am at 2 and a half weeks of taking bupropion XL 150mg. Today has been the worst day of feeling dizzy and just an overall drugged cloudy feeling. Difficult to focus mentally and visually. I was previously on Ciprolex for 7 years with no side effects. Reason for switch was undesirable weight gain. Do I continue to take bupropion with these side effects or will they diminish over time? Is there cause for concern with these side effects and should I see my health care provider to adjust dose or switch products?

Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
I think these symptoms you are mentioning above are exclusively the side effects of bupropion. Having dizziness and difficulty to focus in everyday tasks makes it inappropriate to take it continuously. Please contact your doctor who has prescribed that medication to adjust or change it.
Please kindly rate it as helpful and write a short review about your experience with me! I would appreciate that a lot.
Thank you and best regards!
DR ERIOL.
