Wellbutrin XL side effects......please read

I've been taking Wellbutrin for 8 days now and about 3 days ago, I started feeling dizzy on occassion, it's progressively gotten worse. I called my doc and he said that he wants to see me tomorrow so I made an appointment, but that's not until noon tomorrow. I feel so dizzy, nauseated, spacey, and just weird in my head. Is this something I should worry about, or will it be okay. It seems like it just keeps getting worse by the hour now. Maybe it's just anxiety about it.....or maybe not. I take it at night so it's been about 20 hours since I've taken it, but it is extended release. Also, I know it's bad to miss doses and such as this could cause unwanted side effects as well, but I'm scared to take it tonight, will it bother me if I don't take it tonight? Please someone give me some comfort, I'm scared but I'm not sure if it's something to call my shrinks emergency number about. Thanks in advance for reading this and for your responses. Have any of you experienced this?

It made me sick too... Sorry Hon. I stopped it as soon as I started felling like crud. Then I saw my P-Doc and she gave me something else. Nothing worse happened to me when I stopped, I still felt like crud until my doc gave me something else. I just had to wait it out, until it was out of my system. Thank God! You're not alone. I hope you get to feeling better soon. And... if you feel real bad call the the emergency number, I do! That's why they get paid the big bucks.
All my best to you. Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for your reply. I did go to the doc today, I did not take the med last night, he prescribed prozac for me. I took it this afternoon. I have been dizzy still and still not feeling well, but when I went to get the script filled, the pharmicist said it may take a few days for the wellbutrin to get out of my system. Thank you again.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
