Has anyone who has used either Wellbutrin or Buspar (or the combination) experienced a sensation after taking the medication that I can only describe as a similar sensation to the prickly, tingly, fuzzy feeling one has from taking Niacin? This is annoying me, and is only a recent phenomenon even though I have been on the medications for some time now (if it were a standard side effect of either or the combination I would have suspected it would show up initially rather than later, as most side effects would).

Been digging in the threads about Buspar and Wellbutrin, and am wondering if possibly the side effect I'm experiencing is what may eventurally wind up being a seizure (which I do NOT want). If this "reaction" to either or both of these drugs (the Wellbutrin esp.) sounds familiar to you please advise.

Anything's possible (seizures can present in diverse ways, and I don't pretend to know all of them), but it could be something different altogether -- it sounds like a sort of generic side effect to me. (Disclaimer: I'm not entirely sure what you mean, never having taken niacin supplements myself.)
I suggest talking to your doctor about it, if you're really concerned.
