Wellbutrin, ADD and headaches?

Has anyone being treated for ADD/depression experienced severe headaches while taking Wellbutrin? I take 300mg a day and I experience severe headaches 3-4 times a week since starting on this med. My doctor for some reason agrees that it could be a side effect, but does not want to change the med at this point because it seems to be helping some of my symptoms. He advised to get with my general practitioner in reference to the headaches. I was just wondering if anyone else was having the same problem and what they might have done about it? My inclination is to stop taking the med, but it really does seem to be helping. HELP, if you can!

I took the drug only for a few weeks, I had mild headaches. I have heard before that they are a symptom for some people. Mrs. Clam's advice: drink an extra glass of water at each meal... dehydration makes headaches worse.
