I have just started taking Wellbutrin for depression, and I've noticed a new, marked sensitivity to fluorescent lights. I'm sitting in my office trying to write a lecture, and my head is aching miserably -- when I hold my hand up to shield my eyes from the overhead fluorescent light, I feel tremendous relief. Obviously, I'm headed to Office Max to pick up a non-fluorescent office light, but I'm a little worried about the seizure threshold problem with Wellbutrin. I seem to recall that some people get migraines from fluorescent lights, and I remember tons of Japanese kids having seizures after watching a TV show with problematic flickering recently. Could the fluorescent light be triggering something it shouldn't?
I'm seeing my new pdoc on Friday, but I have two lectures to write before then!
Thanks for any info --
Louisa
