In reply to wellbutrin side effects - hallucinations, posted by ariana on June 6, 2001, at 19:04:00
i had retally weird side effects when i started wellbutrin, including some mild hallucinations like the kind that you mention, but they went away with time. i'd say all of the weird side effects were gone after 1 yr on wellbutrin (they gradually tapered away)

> when i stared at an immobile object, for example like a nail in the wall, it would seem to rapidly twitch or move like an insect. Also, I couldn't sleep at night because when I closed my eyes, I could only see bright lights and colors and hear a ringing sound in my ears.
