I don't have headaches from taking it. Monitor them and if they continue for too long then check in with your doctor. All the best!

I use to take another med that increased seratonine levels in the brain. It was the wrong med and !Y brain makes enough of it naturally. But Welleburtin though increases dopamine levels which my brain is not producing enough of. So if one type of med works great! If not though then talk to your doctor as my body made enough of one type of chemical but not another. I take it twice a day. Know the serious side effects as some of these meds if the wrong ones can make conditions worse. I think it is helping me, but I wonder having been on it for many years now that my body may have adjusted to it too well. If so the dose can be added to, a new med introduced to work with it or new meds all together. I take mine one in the morning and one before bed. Some days are better than others, but I likely will now be initiated for the rest of my life or another type that provides what my body naturally doesn't make enough of now.
