In reply to Chronic sore throat from Wellbutrin XL?, posted by mp0921 on May 22, 2010, at 17:11:58
I have been taking Wellbutrin xl for about 5 weeks. First I did have strep throat and took an antibiotic. I then started to feel that my throat was hurting again and went back to my doctor. My Strep test was neg. but she said my glands were swollen and gave me another antibiotic. I went back a week later b/c the pain was unbearable. She sent me to an ENT. He did a throat culture - came back neg., but he put me on another antibiotic. Went back a week later still in pain and now w/a bad cough. Now I had bronchitus - another antibiotic and cough medicine. Still wasn't better a week later. I now started to 1 - get very concerned and 2- think maybe it is the Wellbutrin. I had side effects from Lexapro and Zoloft - Grinding teeth. I was at my dentist the other day and mentioned it to the Dental hygentist. She looked it up in the PDR and said that it could be a side effect. I stopped taking it and is has been 5 days and I'm starting to be able to swallow w/o pain. I am going to give it another week and see what happens. I really felt good on the med. but the throat pain was unbearable!!!!
