I just began taking 100mg/day of Wellbutrin SR. I have been experiencing the chills and am wondering if anyone has experienced this with Wellbutrin.

"chills" is not what I would call it, but WB *can* cause some tingling (especially in hands and face, head). That generally subsides after a bit. I'm surprised that you would have that at the low dose of 100mg, though, unless you are a small person (as in low weight).

I'm not a small person (average height, weight), and 150 mg WB SR/day caused severe side effects, including shaking, tingling fingers, dizziness, light sensitivity etc. (not things I normally experience, and certainly not my imagination). Cutting the pills in half (to 75 mg) reduced this somewhat, but I still had these side effects to a lesser degree. This lasted two months, until I finally discontinued it. The side effects were gone within a day and I had no withdrawal.
WB works well for some people but can do very strange things to others. My current pdoc agrees, and wasn't at all surprised by the reaction I described.
This is the end of the thread.
