Wellbutrin had a bunch of odd side effects for me (although not muscle weakness). My doctor dismissed these as "impossible" and "imaginary", but they certainly stopped as soon as I discontinued the med. You can see frequencies of side effects in test vs. placebo groups on the web -- just do a Google search for Wellbutrin prescribing information.

"Muscle weakness" is listed as an "infrequent" side effect, meaning that it occurred in between 1/100 and 1/1000 subjects receiving the med. So, it appears rare, but not "impossible" (besides, nothing is impossible). Muscle pain was more common, occurring in about twice as many of the group receiving 400 mg WB SR/day as in the placebo group.
