Wellbutrin SR (Bupropion Hydrochloride SR) and/or alternatives

General Information On Wellbutrin SR

Wellbutrin SR (generic name Bupropion) is prescribed to treat different conditions such as depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), and mental/mood disorders. The medication is a sustained release drug. The advantage of such a medicine is that you need to take the drug less frequently in comparison to instant release drugs. The drug works to restore the balance of neurotransmitters (natural chemicals) in the brain. Wellbutrin SR can prove effective in improving your mood and contributing to a general feeling of well-being.

Side Effects for Wellbutrin SR

Some people may experience common side effects after taking Wellbutrin SR such as dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, weight loss, headaches, sore throat, infections, constipation, or abdominal pain after taking the drug. Severe side effects are very rare and include chest pain, ringing in the ears, mental/mood changes (such as nervousness, hallucinations, anxiety, and restlessness) or a fast heartbeat. You should immediately contact your doctor if you experience any severe side effects after taking Wellbutrin SR. Exercise caution and buy Wellbutrin SR only if it is recommended by your doctor. Women who are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or are breastfeeding should talk to their doctor before taking Wellbutrin SR.

Precautions

Wellbutrin SR may not be the right medication for you if you have specific medical conditions. You should consult your doctor if you have any allergies (to dyes, preservatives, and foods), an eating disorder, brain tumor, diabetes, heart disease, liver problems, and kidney disease. You should also share your medical history with your doctor, especially if you have/have had bipolar disorder, heart attacks, brain injury, or head trauma. Wellbutrin SR may increase the risk of suicidal behavior or thoughts and so, it is necessary that you inform your doctor if you have tried committing suicide or have had suicidal thoughts in the past. The medication may also increase the risk of seizures and as a result, people with bulimia, brain injury, brain trauma, severe liver cirrhosis, or seizure disorders should not take Wellbutrin SR.

Wellbutrin SR Dosage

Wellbutrin SR dosage differs from individual to individual depending on several factors such as the patient’s age, medical condition, and any other medications that the patient may be taking. Wellbutrin SR is available in the form of tablets. You should take the dosage only as recommended by your doctor. You can take Wellbutrin SR with food or without food. If you experience a stomach upset after taking the dose without food, then you should take it with food to reduce or prevent stomach irritation. You should take the dose at the same time every day and continue the treatment even if you feel better.

Interactions

Wellbutrin SR may interact with other drugs such as some diabetes medications, specific X-ray dyes, Amantadine, nicotine products, stimulants, Warfarin, Levodopa, and some sedatives. You should not take MAO inhibitors during Wellbutrin SR treatment and must also avoid taking it two weeks before and after the treatment. To lower the risk of side effects, you should provide a list of all medicines you take to your doctor.
