Information About Wellbutrin
Common Brand Name(s)
Bupropion HCL, Generic Wellbutrin
Uses
Wellbutrin (Anti Depressant) Bupropion (the generic
name of Wellbutrin) is a pharmaceutical prescription
antidepressant which acts directly on the brain and
other nerve cells. Wellbutrin is also used to treat
ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder), Bipolar depression,
chronic fatigue syndrome, cocaine addiction, nicotine
addiction, and lower back pain. Also, Wellbutrin aids
in quitting smoking (identical to Zyban). Wellbutrin
is chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, selective
serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, or other known antidepressant
agents.
How to Use
Wellbutrin may be taken with food if stomach upset occurs.
Take doses at regularly scheduled times each day. Do
not take more or less of the Wellbutrin medication than
prescribed and follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
Taking more than the recommended dose of bupropion will
increase your risk of having a seizure. Do not stop
taking this medication without notifying your doctor.
Since Wellbutrin may cause sleeplessness at first, it
is best not to take this near bedtime. It may take 4
weeks or more before the full effects of this medication
are noticed.
Side Effects
Wellbutrin is generally well tolerated. Dry mouth, headache,
increased sweating, nausea/vomiting, constipation, anxiety,
fatigue and blurred vision may occur. If these effects
persist or worsen, notify your doctor. Report promptly:
unusual weight loss or gain, palpitations, agitation,
trouble sleeping. Unlikely but report promptly: tremor,
dizziness, fainting, mood changes, slowed movements,
difficulty urinating, decreased sex drive, drowsiness.
Very unlikely but report promptly: seizures, mental
problems, fever, muscle aches, yellowing of the eyes
or skin. In the unlikely event you have an allergic
reaction to Wellbutrin, seek medical attention immediately.
Symptoms may include trouble breathing, rash, itching,
swelling, or severe dizziness. If you notice other effects
not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions
Before taking bupropion, tell your doctor if you have:
history of seizures or head injury or brain tumor, heart
disease, liver or kidney disease, eating disorder, diabetes,
alcohol dependence, any allergies, the intent to quit
smoking. Because of the possibility this drug will make
you dizzy and affect coordination, do not drive or operate
machinery until you get used to the drug's effects.
Limit or avoid consumption of alcoholic beverages; alcohol
can increase your risk of seizures. Chronic alcohol
users who suddenly stop the intake of alcohol while
taking bupropion may increase the risk of having seizures.
Suddenly stopping certain tranquilizers (e.g., diazepam,
chlordiazepoxide) is not recommended because doing so
may increase the risk of having seizures. Elderly patients
may be more sensitive to the effects of this drug. Tell
your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant
before taking this drug. This drug passes into breast
milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding
while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your
doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions
Before taking bupropion tell your doctor of all nonprescription
and prescription medications you may use especially:
MAO inhibitors (e.g., isocarboxazid, phenelzine, tranylcypromine,
pargyline, selegiline, linezolid, furazolidone), levodopa,
ritonavir, corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone), sedatives,
adrenaline-like stimulants (e.g., ephedrine), products
containing nicotine (e.g., patches or gum). Also report
use of drugs which might increase seizure risk (decrease
seizure threshold) such as: phenothiazines (e.g., chlorpromazine),
tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline), isoniazid
(INH), theophylline. Excess caffeine intake can increase
the chance of seizures with this drug. Check all nonprescription/prescription
drug labels for caffeine. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.

bupropion. Do not take that product while using this
one. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor
