What Causes Dizziness And Tiredness While On Wellbutrin?

I am feeling light headed and tired. I'm in good condition and recently had a physical. Only med is Wellbutrin 300 mg (been on for ten years.) Feel like I'm lacking something in my body. Maybe iron? I am 5'6" and 150 lbs. I do work out 3 times a week at the gym for 40 minutes. Any idea?

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizziness and tiredness while on Wellbutrin . Well there can be many possibilities for symptoms you mention in query like weakness , diabetic condition , low blood iron level and inner ear problem ( otitis media or meniere's disease ) .
