A member asked:

What causes wellbutrin (bupropion) to lower your blood pressure? i went from 139/89 and 90 bpm to 111/77 with 56 bpm. is this a good thing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood pressure: Wellbutrin (bupropion) is more likely to increase blood pressure. You also take Metoprolol which lowers blood pressure. Suggest you see prescribing doctor to get your blood pressure checked and review meds. Good question. I hope this helps.
