Clinicians have been using Wellbutrin to treat ADHD for at least three decades. Although the details still remain murky, Wellbutrin acts primarily as a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. In humans, the norepinephrine effect appears to be more potent than the dopamine effect.

Several studies, albeit with small numbers of patients, have shown Wellbutrin to be effective in reducing ADHD symptoms in children, adolescents, and adults. Wellbutrin helps at least as much as does Strattera (atomoxetine) and in several studies appears to be as effective as Ritalin (methylphenidate). Wellbutrin may be particularly attractive for those who want to avoid stimulant medications, and the potential for addiction.

Confusion exists among most doctors, pharmacists and patients about the differences between the three formulations of bupropion (immediate release IR, sustained release SR, and extended release ER or XL). Although the XL form was approved for once a day dosing, this does NOT mean that medication is released steadily throughout a 24 hour period.

How and When to use Bupropion? (Wellbutrin, Zyban) - Medical Doctor Explains Side Effects 0 Views • 2 months ago

This is an informational overview video on Bupropion. Bupropion is available under several brandnames: Wellbutrin and Zyban. It is only available as a tablet.

When to use it?
Bupropion can be used to treat a depression, and secondly bupropion can also be used to support stoping smoking.
And for those of you watching, planning to quit smoking, I have already made a more general video on “how to quit smoking”, that provides you with all the necessary tips and tricks! You can find it here: https://youtu.be/WSUbXPGOBdw

How to use it?
Swallow it tablet whole, with a glass of water. Do not chew on it or crush it.
And always take it at fixed times; preferably in the morning (if you need to take 1 tablet) or in the morning and afternoon (if you need to take it twice a day). Prevent taking it in the evening.

What is the correct dosage?
Wellbutrin: to treat depressions.
Starting dose: 150 mg 1x/day

Zyban: to quit smoking.
Quit smoking: Zyban:
Starting dose: 150mg 1/day, and after 4 weeks it can be increased to 150mg 2/day.

If you forget to take a dose, than skip it, and take the next tablet when you usually do so.

If you are looking for a video on Varenicline, than you can find it here:
https://youtu.be/osVTf4Un_3c

What are the side-effects?
(Very) common (≥ 10%):
Insomnia, headache, dizziness, shaking of your hands, concentration problems, sadness, agitation, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, belly pain, constipation, dry mouth, fever, skin irritations (itching, red spots).

Uncommon (0.1-1%):
Weight loss, fast beating heart, increased blood pressure, chest pain, confusion, hearing of a squeaky sound.

Rarely (0,01-0,1%):
Low blood pressure, muscle twitching, cramps, and an allergic reactions.

Stay safe while using Bupropion:
Avoid driving your car the first week you are using bupropion. This is because you might experience some side effects like dizziness and confusion. Which do not exactly make driving very safe. The same is true every time your dose is increased.
Now after 1 week most people are used to the effects, and than it is safe again to drive. However only do so if indeed your are not experience these side effects.
Secondly, I would also advice you to avoid alcohol, as it may increase the side effects of bupropion.

Pregnancy and Lactation:
Try to avoid bupropion, if possible.
It is unclear if it is harmful for you baby, but there are signs it could. So my advice would be to avoid it, and try to use other medicines which are not harmful for your child.

This video is a comprehensive Wellbutrin review covering its indications, mechanism of action, everything you need to know about bupropion side-effects, and more. The FDA approved indications for Wellbutrin (bupropion) include major depressive disorder treatment, seasonal affective disorder medication, smoking cessation aid (marketed as Zyban), and weight loss when combined with naltrexone (Contrave) or dextromethorphan (Aplenzin).

As a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), Wellbutrin's mechanism of action involves inhibiting the reuptake of these neurotransmitters. Common Wellbutrin side-effects include dry mouth, nausea, headache, insomnia, and tremor. More serious potential bupropion side-effects are seizure risk, sjs (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), hypomania/mania, blood pressure elevation, and increased suicidal thoughts/behaviors in youth.

Important Wellbutrin drug interactions to consider include CYP2D6 inhibition affecting codeine, beta blockers, and atomoxetine metabolism. Caution is advised with MAOI combinations due to hypertensive crisis risk from increased catecholamines. Wellbutrin's active metabolites like hydroxybupropion contribute to its therapeutic effects. Overall, this comprehensive Wellbutrin medication review covers key aspects for prescribers.
