Can Withdrawal From Wellbutrin Causes Bumps On The Tongue?
Hi, I am a 29 year old female. I took wellbutrin XL 150mg once a day and phentermine 37.5mg once a day for a couple of weeks in Oct-Nov. I got some bumps on the back of my tongue, but I didn t realize they were caused from the two drugs. I again took wellbutrin and phentermine Jan 26-31. I again got bumps on the back.of ky tongue and immediately stopped taking the medications. Since then my right eye has felt kind of jittery. It isn t a noticable twitch, it just feels like it twitches every couple of minutes. Could this be from the drug interactions? Or from quitting the wellbutrin? Will it eventually go away or is it permanent? Is there anything I can do to help it? I also take birth control, Yasmine. I have two doctors, my regular doctor and a weight doctor. When I was prescribed the phentermine, I wasnt taking the wellbutrin and vice versa. But I quit one and took the other. The overlap happened when I was close to the end of the bottles, that is why it was for a week or so only.

Hi,
Wellbutrin, Bupropion is an anti-depressant helps to control the ups and down of the mood. Prescribed more commonly in depression. It acts by maintaining the balance of the natural neurotransmitter chemical in the brain called as dopamine. Common side effects of the drug are dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, etc.
Phentermine is a sympathomimetic drug used in weight loss. It acts by decreasing the appetite and increasing the energy expenditure. Side effects of the drug are nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, constipation, etc. There is no interaction of the drugs you are on. It is there side effects causing the bumps in the tongue due the dryness of the mouth. Have plenty of water, balanced diet are very much helpful to overcome the issue. Viral etiology should also be ruled out, if the bumps persist even after discontinuing the drugs.
