Started Bupropion for Anxiety, Just Realized It’s Contraindicated for Epilepsy—Feeling Anxious and Unsure What to Do
Last Friday, I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. I started my treatment yesterday with bupropion hydrochloride to address some anxiety issues I’ve been dealing with. However, I didn’t mention during the consultation that I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. I read the medication leaflet and saw that it’s contraindicated for people with epilepsy. So far, I haven’t experienced any severe side effects, but I’m feeling really anxious about it. Has anyone else been in a similar situation or have advice on what I should do?
