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: • Watch This Before You ...
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.

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.

@cresc3ndo475 Год назад

This is because one thing the Dr. Doesn't mention, bupropion was originally used for cocaine cessation. It's a very odd SSRI in that it produces alot of energy almost like a lower dose amphetamine. This is also why weight loss is common. For me, burpropion crushes depression fast because it does indeed feel like I'm on a low dose of cocaine. And it helped me quit smoking in 8 days

I'm taking it for borderline personality disorder, I get drowsy on it which is pretty bad since I'm a delivery driver. The first week I lost the ability to cry, drift (don't attempt to drift/power slide on the first week as reaction time slows down), and feel anxiety which was cool cause sliding around downtown delivering packages right after black friday is stressful. Effects lessened and driving became easier second week. I still get sleepy, my doc told me to play around with the time I take the medication so I started taking it at night. For me, taking bupropion feels like theres a mechanic in my head trying to fix my brain but hes taking his time cause he wants to maximize the paycheck. I'm impulsive so I keep the meds on another floor just in case I start feeling 'quirky' and do something i regret. Btw I'm on week 3 and I feel like my normal self but less impulsive, and still drowsy

@Derpuwolf 3 года назад

I just started taking Bupropion today for my lack of focus and anxiety. If it doesn't work within the first 3 weeks, I was instructed to try out Adderall. I'm a bit nervous about both these medications but I'm doing it for my own good. I just hope everything turns out alright. Edit on 15 of April, 2022. I tried out Bupropion for a few weeks but had to get off of it shortly after. Even though it was an antidepressant, it caused me to have depressive episodes and my emotions weren't in my hands, so to speak. My best guess is that I was equipped with the wrong type of drug. I didn't have strong depression at the time, I needed something for my ADHD. A stimulant would work better than an antidepressant. Now on adderall, it works quite well. It's not a miracle drug, it helps me focus but only when I actually try to focus. Unlike without it, where I try to focus but can't. However, I can easily drink adderall and spend the next four hours hyperfocused on the wrong thing. But unlike Bupropion, it has no side effects because adderall is the equivalent of drinking coffee, for example. It's a drug consumed within a few hours and once it's done, it's chemically done and decomposed. The only side effects you'd have are during the usage time of a few hours, and it's not severe. If you don't stay hydrated, or forget to eat, you might get headaches.

I just got my Bupropion HCL 150 MG filled today. Since this mediation has a black box warning. I have to meet with my Nurse Practitioner every month. I have my bottle in my hand now. I have yet to take it. I’ve heard really great things about the medication. I got it prescribed for my depression, but especially for my ADHD. I’m hoping it does great things for me. Considering I’m not hyper, but I have a difficult time focusing and concentrating on this. I procrastinate a lot. I start wayyy to many projects that I don’t finish. With my ADHD it’s like this: Imagine being in a gymnasium with hundreds of thousands post it notes on the walls. On every post it note, there are thoughts, tasks and projects listed on them. That’s what my mind is like 24/7. The projects, thoughts, ideas and advice are really great. It will definitely benefit my life and progress me further. But I just cannot even go through step one and sit down to focus. I get so distracted easily. It’s horrible. Hopefully this medication will really help me!

Well, in my case (moderate-severe depression) Wellbutrin was extremely effective. While I not only suffered severely from the painful symptoms of depression, but was also unable to work and was at risk of having my cognitive abilities permanently impaired, my condition improved greatly just a few days after starting Wellbutrin (150mg XR). Specifically, I had no negative changes in thinking and perceptions, or negative changes in my personality. I felt a certain euphoric effect (thought that's what cocaine must feel like) but otherwise not like being on drugs. I also noticed that I seem to have suffered from mild social anxiety all my life, which I only became aware of when the drug made it go away. Also, I only had certain side effects (itchy skin, and the feeling of a slightly altered self-perception) for the first week, during the changeover process, which then went away. Now, after several months of taking the drug, I have slowly stopped taking it. At the moment I am still a bit more tired than before, which is logical because the drug had a stimulating effect, but I no longer experience any symptoms of depression. I can only report positive things about the drug, it has served its purpose without side effects. The biggest drawback seems to me that there is no 75mg XR dosage, which on the one hand would facilitate tapering (the tablets should not be split), and after the decline of acute depression would be a perfectly adequate dose for maintenance therapy to prevent relapse over a period of time.

Thank you for your informative insight. I started Wellbutrin for depression about a week ago and I instantly experienced the side effects of insomnia and increased stimulation and suppressed physiological status (I.e no crying episodes). However, a week in I flipped and felt a change in my mood. I started to feel heaviness and my emotions, that I had been experiencing prior, even more intensely. I would take the medication every morning to try sleep better at night. However, when I informed my PCP of these new observations she told me to stop the medication ‘cold turkey’. I know I have only been on for a week but I did not expect her to say to just stop taking the medication. She mentioned to wait a week with no medication and then start a different medication. Would you agree or what do you want think? This is truly ‘Russian roulette’ of trying to get better 😞

*Sorry for the long writing* What if me drinking coffee improves my energy levels and mood. When I drink coffee (especially medium size Americano w/no sugar), I feel good energy & confidence & I feel that I can concur my tasks and I see things more clearly. And feel driven to do things (If I had them as goals) w/out crippling anxiety and overthinking things. Normally I might feel graugy even if my sleep schedule is fixed & if I'd slept for 7-8 hrs that day. But for some reason large amounts of coffee fixes it + it makes it easier for me to "decode" information during lectures, understand, and learn; without having to put in huge amounts of effort to focus and understand what's being said in the lecture. Caffeine seems to make the learning process smoother for my brain. IDK how and why. (I've read about ADHD; and how stimulants can help such cases. I don't have ADHD, maybe what I've experienced was a placebo effect). *Large amounts of coffee lifts up my spirit & brings back the old me (the motivated me). Without it I may be a sloppy human that hates doing things. With it I feel like doing things without complaining. I do have huge anxiety that I hate. I've experienced its symptoms more than once for months [separated intervals of individual months]. I wish I can have an off-switch that can keep me grounded in the now; so that I can thing on my feet, and not have to be crippled by fatigue and overthinking due to feeling overwhelmed by choices; which leads to feeling anxious.

Second day a couple throughout the day and destroyed all my vaping paraphernalia that night. It's my 6th day today and I'm totally craving free.

Update? Been thinking about this for quitting vaping because I’m on the same page.

I was told you shouldn’t mix birth control with Wellbutrin. I just started this & it’s been making my anxiety worse & gave me a panic attack. Should I stop it?

hi Ashley, I am not familiar with this interaction between these drugs. However, it is always wise to discuss your concerns with your prescribing doctor.

Has anyone had any side effects or experiences of suicidal thoughts after taking this medication? My doctor just prescribed me a dosage of 150 for the first three days but I am a little scared of the side effects.

After almost 30 days. I'm starting to wonder what is happening, because I'm still struggling with getting out of bed and generally having motivation towards life.

Are you only taking 150mg once/day or have you gone up to 150mg twice/day?

Appreciate Video! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Nanackson Guardo Philosophy (do a google search)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for revealing the secret to get rid of panic attacks minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 finally got cool results with it.
