      Actually Wellbutrin is a Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor and Cymbalta is Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor so they are is a different class working on your normal SSRI’s like Prozac for example, the target for Wellbutrin is Dopamine so it can also be used in smoking cessation, a lot of people do have adverse affects to Wellbutrin XL which is a 24hr release but they also make Wellbutrin SR as a Sustained 12hr release usually dosed 2 times daily. Sometimes the combination of the both medications hit all three major brain receptors and help stabilize someone, but it’s not always the case, check with the Psychiatrist not GP and make sure your monitoring your side effects, I been on Wellbutrin XL since 2008 and I did have similar side effects but they did subside.

      Welbutrin is chemically related to Cymbalta, which I took for a number of years, and as such it's got quite a few potential side effects, many of them pretty difficult to deal with. I think a conversation soon with your doctor would be a very, very wise decision. 💕
