A member asked:

Started wellbutrin about two weeks ago. i started having this weird sensation in my legs. i've never had the feeling before so i'd assume it's the medicine but want to make sure isn't potentially serious?

Wellbutrin is an antidepressant that has a pretty good safety profile, but it's quite possible you're experiencing a side effect. The side effects usually dissipate after taking it a couple of weeks. Notify your prescribing physician of this symptom and obtain his/her advice about this issue.
