Hello
If the blood pressure has increased after starting wellbutrin, I think the change of drug is indicated.
If the blood pressure levels are seriously raised, then anti-hypertensive drugs are indicated.
However, if mildly raised, some lifestyle modification like regular aerobic exercises, healthy diet, relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation, restricting salt intake will help.
Thanks.
