How To Stop Racing Heart And Headache After Taking Wellbutrin?

My sister took a Wellbutrin then 15 mins later took 2 motion for a bad headache. She seems to be having a reaction to something. Her heart is racing, pounding really fast, she s feeling sweaty and panicky is this a common drug interaction? Is there something she can do to stop the racing?

Hello,

I understand your concern. While there is no known interaction between Wellbutrin and Motrin, but Wellbutrin is known to cause increased and iregular heart beat.
Tell her sister to contact her doctor immediately and notify them about this. She should not take another dose of Wellbutrin before checking with her doctor.

I hope this helps.
Wishing you all the best
