Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are taking medication Bupropion which is given in depression. Dizziness and headache are common side effects of medication so nothing to be worried at all which will be adjusted in long run. Please talk with your doctor to reduce its dose to 100 mg once a day and after few you can increase it to 150 mg as you are taking for the first time.

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

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
