I haven’t had personal experience with priapism related to Wellbutrin, but I do know that while it’s less common with this medication compared to others, it can still occur as a very rare side effect. Wellbutrin is generally known for having a lower risk of sexual side effects which is why many find it preferable. However, everyone’s body chemistry is different and can react uniquely to the same medication.
If you’re experiencing symptoms like priapism, it’s really important to treat it as a medical emergency. Prolonged erections can cause serious tissue damage if not addressed quickly. Definitely speak with your healthcare provider about this issue; they could assess whether your current prescription is the best fit or if there might be alternatives better suited for you without such risks. Always best to keep them informed so they can encourage manage and mitigate any adverse effects from the treatment effectively.
