> I've been on Wellbutrin since March 2003; current dose of 200 mg. BID for the last year. My blood pressure has been in the borderline/HTN range for some time, and this week took a sharp upturn for no clear dietary, behaviorial, or other reason.

>That is really interesting that you say that. I just recently noticed that my BP has been pretty high since starting Wellbutrin. I've always been no higher than 120/80 (except when someone wants to stick a needle in me!), but now since starting Wellbutrin I have been around 150/110 consistantly. Way too high in my book for some one in their 20's! It wasn't until this last week that I started putting two and two together and concluding it must be the Wellbutrin. Nice to know someone else is experiencing the same thing.
