About Wellbutrin®

  • What is Wellbutrin® (bupropion)?
    Plus sign

    Wellbutrin® 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).

    How does Wellbutrin® work?
    Plus sign

    Wellbutrin® reabsorbs neurotransmitters regularly—as soon as they’ve conveyed a message. When patients take a dose of Wellbutrin, the prescription drug’s active ingredients block your brain from reabsorbing the neurotransmitters at the same rate, leaving more available for your body to use at one time.

  • What are the side effects of Wellbutrin®?
    Plus sign

    Common side effects include headache, weight loss, dry mouth, trouble sleeping (insomnia), nausea, dizziness, constipation, fast heartbeat, and sore throat.
