Question : I started taking Wellbutrin. In a couple of days I have experienced ringing and pulsating noise in my right ear. Is there a connection?

Brief Answer:
May be Wellbutrin side effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Ringing in right ear, pulsating noise or other auditory disturbances may be related to using Wellbutrin recently.
Also it may cause palpitations which feel like pulsating noise.
You may wait for some days to a week to see if they go away gradually.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
