I have been started on wellbutrin (bupropion ) for my depression. Does this drug cause dry mouth?

Wellbutrin or bupropion has several side effects some of which include  nausea, dry mouth, cough, constipation, sweating, joint pain, blurred vision, strange taste or dizziness. In most cases, these symptoms subside with time. However, the dry mouth can  be treated by ample drinking water or sucking on hard candy.
In rare cases, Wellbutrin can also cause mood changes, muscle pain worsen depression, irregular heart rate, headache, or uncontrolled movements. 
Wellbutrin can also induce an allergic reaction that may present with a skin rash, itching, dizziness or trouble breathing. In such cases, one should seek immediate medical attention
