I have had occasional-every 2 weeks or so-optical migraines for several years. They usually are triggered by changing from a dark environment to a bright one or vice-versa.
A few months ago I began taking bupropion for a different condition, and have not had an optical migraine since.
Has anyone else found this to happen?
Or is it just a coincidence?

The only side effects I've found so far are constipation,(but taking a stool softener brought me back to normal), and sleeping longer, but I am retired, so an extra hour in the morning doesn't bother me.
