In reply to wellbutrin and neck pain??, posted by tricia s on November 19, 2004, at 14:53:54
> I've been taking Wellbutrin for abiout 3 years now.(Wellbutrin SR, 150 mg 2 x a day). About 2.75 years ago, I started having bad neck pain. My Dad's a chiropractor and can't seem to figure out the issue--I've also had several MRI's. I can't help but think that this pain could be a side effect of Wellbutrin...anyone have this same side effect?
Yes, I had neck stiffness and pain with Wellbutrin. It is a fairly rare side effect, but some people do get it. I was taking the maximum dosage of Wellbutrin when I developed the neck pain, and I was also having some memory lapses, which is another rare side effect. When I stopped taking Wellbutrin, both the stiff painful neck and the memory problems went away.
