BUPROPRION
Depression Treatment
Bupropion was first developed to treat depression. It was later found
that it helped smokers to stop smoking (MORE
ABOUT THAT HERE).
When sold and marketed under the brand names Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin
SR and Wellbutrin XL, Bupropion is usually indicated for depression
treatment. Multiple studies have confirmed the efficacy of Bupropion
for depression treatment. Bupropion is also sometimes prescribed for
the treatment of bipolar depression and attention deficit disorder.
Warnings:
- Never take Bupropion if you are taking another type of antidepressant
called a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (MAOI), or if you have stopped
taking a MAOI in the last 14 days. Doing this may result in serious,
sometimes fatal, reactions, including - coma, high body temperature
and seizures.
- Use bupropion only as directed by your Doctor . Do not use more
of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer
time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance
of side effects

and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Never double up on
doses.
