In reply to Wellbutrin XL and vomiting, posted by ShimmerMD on February 19, 2005, at 13:55:32
Are you taking Lexapro simultaneously with the Wellbutrin XL? If so, you might be experiencing an adverse reaction (possibly serotonin syndrome) due to the combination of the medicines. On the other hand, perhaps you have the flu or another viral illness. Did the symptoms subside when you stopped the Wellbutrin (I'm assuming you stopped it)? As the other poster suggested, going from 150 to 300 mg sounds like too great an increase at one time. I think it's best to increase the dose gradually, especially with a medicine like Wellbutrin. If you resume the Wellbutrin, do it slowly, over a period of weeks. I think you should call your doctor to discuss what you've mentioned here.
