> I never got any EPS symptoms from Wellbutrin SR when I took it years ago. However, I did get EPS type symptoms from Ritalin when I took that. Ritalin and Wellbutrin are kind of similar, with Ritalin being more potent of course. But I could see some people getting EPS type symptoms from Wellbutrin. With drugs...ANYTHING is possible.

> Anything is possible on drugs, so if youve been on Wellbutrin for a while and are having stiff muscles and stuff like that, twitching and stuff, it would be time to tell your doctor about it.I don't have any stiff muscles and stuff like that
fortunately; my tongue keeps on twitching once in a while though.
I had a similar problem with Tofranil(imipramine); i usually get this twitching thing when the good effects of the drug are about to fade away : when the twitching goes away, the good effects also desappear .
P.S.I called my pdoc but he didn't return my calls.
