I was going to start a thread but then I went back and found this one. A couple weeks ago I had a major anxiety attack, headaches, not being able to sleep, agitated, and
loss of balance during an extremely stressful situation that had to be completed involving my bankruptcy. Last week I finally got to my Pdoc. for a checkup and found my blood pressure had risen from 120/80 to 180/120 he was extremely concerned about the possibility of a stroke. We found the cause as being a generic of 300 mg Wellbutrin XL,
that I take with a generic of lamictal as a mood stabilizer.
I understood the side effects associated with taking it, but I never considered it could affect my blood pressure to the extent that it did. Since I have been off of it my blood pressure has already started to come down.
What I wanted bring attention to is never underestimate the seriousness of a headache when taking this form of medication, the headaches I ignored were caused by my increased blood pressure, and could have killed me if I hadn't gone in for a checkup.
