How Safe Is Taking Bupropion ?

Hi! I have been taking setraline 50mg for the past year. 5 days ago I switched to bupropion hcl xl 150 mg.
I started having a weird sensation in my head and it gets more frequent when I move around. I fell it every couple of minutes. I also fell exhausted and have a hard time doing anything.....it's physical not emotional. I am 38 and my weight is normal.

Hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

Bupropion is good antidepressant and in the initial days, it cause some anxiety symptoms like palpitation, headache or tingling sensation. There is nothing to worry about it. Just wait for few days and such anxiety side effects would decrease on its own.

Thanks
