When I increased my dose I had some coughing, but the nauseau was what got me. Remember that everybody reacts to different things in various ways, so it could be completely normal for you, then again it is always good to get checked. I believe it takes about 3 weeks for the medicine to fully kick in and that is when most side effects stop if they haven't already.

Brunette - Hi, Phil Connors here. After 4 months on Welbutrin and Celexa - I'm still coughing. Not a lot but enough to be a little annoying. I quit smoking several months ago, so I thought it was just the ole lungs clearing out. But now that you raise the question - I guess there could be a link to the meds. I guess its time for me to do some in-depth research. Meanwhile - seeing the doctor is always good advice, especially if your coughing up anything that is blood tinged, yellow or green, or thick. Hope you find your answer, Phil.

A dry cough is usually a side effect of blood pressure meds... Maybe sinus.. I know Lexapro causes sinusitus....

2 75MG in the morn. and after 2PM another 75MG. Had a bad taste and dry mouth , but no coughing. It also makes my cigarettes taste bad. (My Dr. has done this on purpose...I know she will get a big kick out of this.) Check with your Dr. soon...
