CPPS and Wellbutrin

[sam5935]

Hello-

Anyone here neard or read about Wellbutrin and it's effects on musculoskeletal conditions? I've been taking it for many years. When I first started taking it, it caused really bad full-body muscles tightness....clenching of the jaw and clenching of the muscles. Eventually, I got used to this and, even though it still happened sometimes, I stopped really noticing it. Then, I developed CPPS. I've thought about it before, but have never gone to the psych. to ask about it. A friend of mine just started taking it and has literally been bedbound with severe muscle pain in the arms, legs, and hands every since. She sent me the side effects, which I hadn't read in years, and they include: muscle rigidity, leg cramps, muscle weakness, muscle pain and rhabdomyolysis
(muscle breakdown).

Anyone heard of this? Think it could be contributing to my(or anyone else's problems?) Either way, I'm planning on talking to my psych. and if he says anything of import, I'll make sure and post it here.

Interesting data point. There could be a cause-effect relationship.

As a follow-up. The Manufacturer states that Wellbutrin can cause anxiety and muscle soreness. I'll repost after talking to my psych.
