General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is a transient response and not related to bupropion.

Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.

Nothing much to worry and you will be fine in couple of days.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
