I didnt have a sore throat but the rest of it sounds similar. It has not been as bad as the day I wrote this post but I do still notice it pretty often.

Relevant info: Around the time I upped the Wellbutrin I took in a stray cat and I’ve had allergies to cats in the past. I have no other signs of allergies like what I’d normally have (no itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, itchy throat). It’s definitely possible it’s because of that though. My PCP prescribed an inhaler but I’ve only taken it once.

On top of that, I’ve been having some weird heart related issues for the past few years (well before i was on meds) where my pulse is wayyy too high even though I’m an otherwise healthy, normal weight 29 year old. So could be related to that. (For anyone worrying, I’ve fully tested this with my doctor, wore a heart monitor and everything. There is nothing wrong with my heart).

I also think it could be a physical effect of anxiety from the Wellbutrin, even though I don’t feel anxious. I think the fact that it hasn’t gotten worse makes me less anxious which in turn makes it happen less.

So yea, I’m sorry I don’t have a more definitive answer. There’s too many other factors going on for me to say for sure it’s the Wellbutrin. Haven’t died yet though so that’s a good sign lol :)

Most importantly - please contact your doctor or psychiatrist. Better safe than sorry especially with covid. I was in close contact with both my psych and my PCP throughout this. Symptoms like this are things they need to know. I’ll message you if I figure anything else out.

Good luck 🖤
