A member asked:

I'm on day 7 of taking wellbutrin (bupropion) 150 xl and have intolerable nausea half of the day (unable to work). what is the duration of this side effect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably ongoing : If you continue (after at week) to have such a severe side effect from the wellbutrin, (bupropion) then it's highly likely that you will not "get through" it and feel better. I would recommend discussing a change to another antidepressant with your psychiatrist.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
