This video articulates the gist of the following: Wellbutrin (bupropion) is an antidepressant medication used to treat major depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder. You should not take Wellbutrin if you have seizures, an eating disorder, or if you have suddenly stopped using alcohol, seizure medications, or sedatives. If you take Wellbutrin for depression, do not also take Zyban to quit smoking. Bupropion is an antidepressant medication that works in the brain. It is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and to help people quit smoking (smoking cessation).Symptoms of depression include Depressed mood - feeling sad, empty, or tearful, Feeling worthless, guilty, hopeless, and helpless, Loss of interest or pleasure in your usual activities, Sleep and eat more or less than usual (for most people it is less), Low energy, trouble concentrating, or thoughts of death (suicidal thinking)
Psychomotor agitation (‘nervous energy’), Psychomotor retardation (feeling like you are moving and thinking in slow motion), Suicidal thoughts or behaviors. SAD is a type of depression that occurs mainly during the autumn-winter season. Although the common term SAD is now referred to as Major Depression with Seasonal Pattern, this fact sheet will continue to use SAD as it is more commonly known. Bupropion may also be helpful when prescribed “off-label” for bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, and sexual dysfunction due to SSRI antidepressants. “Off-label” means that it hasn’t been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for this condition. Bupropion hydrochloride is available in 3 different forms: immediate release (IR), sustained release (SR), and extended release (XL). Bupropion IR is usually taken 2 or 3 times per day with 4-6 hours between doses. Bupropion SR is usually taken twice daily in the morning and mid-afternoon. The dose usually ranges from 100 mg twice daily up to 200 mg twice daily. Bupropion XL is usually taken once daily in the morning. The dose ranges from 150 mg to 450 mg. Bupropion hydrobromide (Aplenzin) is usually taken once daily in the morning. The dose ranges from 174 mg to 522 mg. While there are dose ranges for each form, your health care provider will determine the form and dose that is right for you based on your response. The dose for SAD is bupropion XL 150 mg once daily in the morning. The dose may be increased to 300 mg once daily. The dose for smoking cessation is bupropion SR 150 mg once daily for 3 days and then twice daily for 7 to 12 weeks.
