Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes, Wellbutrin (Bupropion) can cause swallowing difficulty, chest pains and breathing difficulty. However, those side effects are considered rare and typically only occur when taking high doses of the medication for an extended period of time. For most people who take Wellbutrin as prescribed by their doctor, these side effects are very unlikely to happen.
If you have been experiencing any of these symptoms while taking Wellbutrin, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately as they may be signs of a serious medical condition that requires prompt treatment. Additionally, if you experience any other adverse reactions such as nausea or dizziness while on this medication you should alert your healthcare team right away.
