Muscle Spasms from Wellbutrin?

Has anyone dealt with muscle spasms or rigidity from this medication? I’m just now being able to massage out my muscle knots and spasms after getting them shortly after starting Wellbutrin about 2 months ago.

I take that med, and I get those A LOT. I've grown used to it by now but before it's seriously annoyed me.

Huh. I have been getting those but I didn’t attribute them to Wellbutrin.

it took me a good while to attribute it to that too! I thought it was cause of injury. but I notice now it happened not long after starting. muscles on the the whole right side of my body got extremely rigid, to the point where I looked uneven and lost muscle mass. I was in physical therapy and all! finally got a massage gun and started massaging the muscles and they broke up just like that. I’m trying to figure out if wellbutrin directly caused it, or me being so anxious as a side effect when I first started it that caused my muscles to spasm! I’m on buspar now to calm down the anxiety and I notice that things have been feeling way better. just hoping they don’t come back because if soooo, I’m off wellbutrin. sadly because I liked how it worked for my depression
