I need information about Wellbutrin XL (Bupropion)?

20-year-old woman3 years ago
My psychiatrist didn't tell me much about this medication, she only said it would give me more energy! What are the possible side effects? Any possible complications? I am taking 150mg Sorry for all the questions, I'm a hypochondriac and I'm worried about taking new medications :(

Hello Mrs.! Don't apologize for the question, it's our job to inform you about your treatments!
Bupropion has an action on adrenergic receptors (among others), hence its 'stimulating' action. This medication is often added to other antidepressants when they are partially effective
You should start to feel its effects in 2 to 3 weeks, 4 at the most in some cases.
The main side effects are constipation and dizziness, but these often subside over time. If the dose is too high, or in people who are more sensitive to the effects of the medication, some people may experience tremors. To prevent these effects as much as possible, it is recommended to reduce the consumption of other stimulants such as coffee
I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
