Brand Name: Wellbutrin SR

Most Common Medical Uses
Bupropion is an antidepressant medication. Bupropion is commonly used used to relieve symptoms of depression such as feelings of sadness, worthlessness or guilt, loss of interest in daily activities, changes in appetite, tiredness, sleeping too much, insomnia, and thoughts of death or suicide. Bupropion is also used to help people stop smoking by reducing withdrawal effects. Bupropion may also be used for purposes other than those here.

How to Take This Medication
Take bupropion exactly as directed by your doctor. Take each dose with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the sustained-release tablets (Wellbutrin SR and Zyban). Swallow them whole. They are specially formulated to release slowly in your body. If you are unsure whether you have a sustained-release formulation, ask your pharmacist, doctor, or nurse. Do not stop taking bupropion without first talking to your doctor. It may be several weeks before you begin to feel better, and you may require continuous treatment for quite some time.

Possible Side Effects
Stop taking bupropion and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately if you experience: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); seizures; or fast or irregular heartbeats. Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take bupropion and talk to your doctor if you experience headache; insomnia; dry mouth; tremors, restlessness, agitation, or anxiety; dizziness or drowsiness. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

Precautions
Do not take bupropion if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. Do not take bupropion if you have epilepsy or another type of seizure disorder, or if you have ever been diagnosed with anorexia or bulimia. Bupropion may increase the risk of having a seizure if you have any of these conditions. Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions such as heart, liver, or kidney disease. Bupropion may be used to treat different medical conditions. You should not be taking more than one product containing bupropion at a time (e.g., Wellbutrin and Zyban). Talk to your doctor if a second product containing bupropion is prescribed for you. Too much of this medicine can increase the risk of a seizure. Do not take bupropion without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or breast-feeding a baby.

Drug Interactions
Do not take bupropion if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. Many drugs can interact with bupropion, resulting in side effects and / or decreased effectiveness of the medication. Do not take any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including herbal or natural products, without first talking to your doctor during treatment with bupropion.

Missed Dose
Skip the missed dose and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose.
