Does Wellbutrin cause weird dreams?

Lookingforhope20100 profile image

I started back up on my Wellbutrin a few days ago and a mood stabilizer about the same time and every night since I've had really weird vivid dreams sometimes I wake up thinking that they actually happened so could that be a side effect does anybody else have this going on

Hello , I take the same thing. Only been a few weeks or so. But I haven't had any dreams ... Or if I do I don't know it lol

Haven't really noticed anything tho since taking it. Doesn't seem to be working or needs higher dose..

Anyways hope you have a nice day :)

I’ve been taking it (two 75mg tabs once a day) for about 3 weeks now. No bad dreams. I have however, experienced the same side effect with a different medication. You should consult with your prescriber ASAP. Bad dreams can be awful. Sorry you’re experiencing that!

Hello, I took Wellbutrin for several years. I did not notice dreams (keep reading). I notice when I increase to 300 mg, anxiety really picked up. I went down to 150 and have done well, but I use it more to get me going. Cymbalta has really been the core drug for depression. I started a mood stabilizer recently and have noticed a few more dreams....some strange. So it may be the mood stabilizer. But what I have learned from taking drugs is everyone is different. I wish you the best, depression and anxiety is really difficult to live with daily. We must all have very broad shoulder. :)
