I had WellbutrinXL for a year, didnt have abdominal pain, but call your Dr. Anyway.  good Luck.  Wellbutrin worked well for me.  No sex side effects, lost a little wieght.  Stopped working, now on Prestiq, not so good.

Hi there

 

I agree with Reeling...you should talk to your doctor about this right away.  There could definitely be a connection with your antidepressant.

 

This web site, which talks about the side effects of Wellbutrin Sr reports that up to 9% of people taking this drug have abdominal pain and for 1-5% of people: "Frequent urination, bladder infections, or other urinary problems."

 

I had this issue when taking Prozac.  No urinary tract infection was found.  When I stopped taking the drug then the urinary symptoms went away.  Do talk to your doctor before thinking about discontinuing your medication.  It might be a situation where this will go away in time or maybe even that the medication is not causing this side effect.

 

I hope this helps.  Let us know what happens.
