What ended up happening? Did you go off of it?? I also hate this side effect
Has anyone else here had the opposite affect? Bupropion causing breasts to get smaller than they were?
I have this too! I thought that I just gained weight even though my breasts normally stay the same no matter how much weigh I gain. I had tiny tiny breasts, like AA cup, but now my bras are tight and I need to size up to A. I also have less severe PMS during my periods. Before taking bupropion I always had such extremely lows that I wanted to kms and had to take pain killers for the stomach ache. Now I didn’t have to take it once during my periods, because the pain is okay and I still cry and feel sad, but not to the point of being seriously suicidal. So I think that it definitely does something to the hormones, but for me it had only positive effects
I had that the first few months. They were just heavy. My husband caught me over zoom ahem looking at them weirdly and he goes “babe, your boobs are fine, leave them alone” lmao I was just confused as to why they just looked huge and I wasn’t PMSing lol. Quite an embarrassing moment but funny haha
Did they end up getting smaller again? I had a reduction a couple years ago and my boobs are suddenly getting bigger rapidly after staring Wellbutrin only a week ago!!! I don’t want this side effect !!
Maybe I should go up to 300 instead of getting implants . . .
Literally 👀

Hey! I’m also experiencing some of this. The growth isn’t dramatic by any means but I can definitely tell! The soreness is actually the big giveaway for me too. It’s like getting that PMS tenderness/soreness but all the damn time. I’m with you on this!
I’ve had this happen! I’ve been on 150mg for a bit over 4 weeks and at first I thought it was my hormones because they are much fuller. I thought it would go away in time but they are still bigger. I couldn’t find anything about this being side effect so I haven’t really thought about it. But it for sure a thing with me.
Old post sorry, but Are you on 150mg instant or extended release ??
Hi! I have since increased to 300mg extended release. The 150mg was also extended release. ☺️
I'm not a doctor but did a bit of googling and did find this: https://www.reddit.com/r/bupropion/comments/srtgu1/female_breast_size_increase/ which seems to indicate it's not unheard of.
Kind of the same thing with tinnitus -- did some googling and apparently it's not unheard of.
The worrying thing to me is that your psychiatrist is seemingly dismissive of your concerns.
Tinnitus is not unheard of is the best statement
I'm happy I found this. I've recently increased my dosage to 150mg of sustained release and my boobs have been crazy tender to the point where it makes me anxious (I get very queasy with pain unfortunately). I thought it was a hormonal thing but I feel it's last a bit longer than it would for hormones. They're also so swelled up to the point where they look fake!! It's not the worst side effect to have, but I just truly don't want to deal with this.
