What is Bupropion:
Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL) is
taken to treat depression. Bupropion is in a class of
medications called antidepressants. Bupropion works by
increasing certain types of activity in the brain.
Taking Bupropion: Bupropion comes as a tablet and a
sustained-release or extended-release (long-acting) tablet
to take by mouth. The regular tablet (Wellbutrin) is usually
taken three or four times times a day, with doses at least 6
hours apart. The sustained-release tablet (Wellbutrin SR,
Zyban) is usually taken twice a day, with doses at least 8
hours apart. The extended-release tablet (Wellbutrin XL) is
usually taken once daily in the morning. To help you
remember to take bupropion, take it around the same time
every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label
carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any
part you do not understand. Take bupropion exactly as
directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more
often than prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the
sustained-release and extended-release tablets whole; do not
split, chew, or crush them. Your doctor will probably start
you on a low dose of bupropion and gradually increase your
dose. It may take 4 weeks or longer before you feel the full
benefit of bupropion. Continue to take bupropion even if you
feel well. Do not stop taking bupropion without talking to
your doctor. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose
gradually. Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the
manufacturer’s patient information sheet when you begin
treatment with bupropion. Read the information carefully and
ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Bupropion is also sometimes used to treat bipolar depression
and attention deficit disorder. Talk to your doctor about
