Wellbutrin-SR Information
|
Common Brand Name(s)
Wellbutrin SR (Sustained Release) Tablets
Uses
Wellbutrin is a pharmaceutical prescription antidepressant which acts
directly on the brain and other nerve cells. It is also used to treat
ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder), Bipolar depression, chronic fatigue
syndrome, cocaine addiction, nicotine addiction, and lower back pain.
Also, aids in quitting smoking (identical to Zyban). It is chemically
unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor,
or other known antidepressant agents.
How to Use
Wellbutrin SR may be taken with food if stomach upset occurs. Take doses
at regularly scheduled times each day. Do not take more or less medication
than prescribed and follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Taking
more than the recommended dose of bupropion will increase your risk of
having a seizure. Do not stop taking Wellbutrin SR without notifying
your doctor. Since Wellbutrin SR may cause sleeplessness at first, it is best
not to take this near bedtime. It may take 4 weeks or more before the
full effects of Wellbutrin SR are noticed.
Side Effects
Wellbutrin SR is generally well tolerated. Dry mouth, headache, increased
sweating, nausea/vomiting, constipation, anxiety, fatigue and blurred
vision may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor.
Report promptly: unusual weight loss or gain, palpitations, agitation,
trouble sleeping. Unlikely but report promptly: tremor, dizziness, fainting,
mood changes, slowed movements, difficulty urinating, decreased sex drive,
drowsiness. Very unlikely but report promptly: seizures, mental problems,
fever, muscle aches, yellowing of the eyes or skin. In the unlikely event
you have an allergic reaction to Wellbutrin SR, seek medical attention immediately.
Symptoms may include trouble breathing, rash, itching, swelling, or severe
dizziness. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your
doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions
Before taking bupropion, tell your doctor if you have: history of seizures
or head injury or brain tumor, heart disease, liver or kidney disease,
eating disorder, diabetes, alcohol dependence, any allergies, the intent
to quit smoking. Because of the possibility Wellbutrin SR will make you dizzy
and affect coordination, do not drive or operate machinery until you get
used to the drug's effects. Limit or avoid consumption of alcoholic beverages;
alcohol can increase your risk of seizures. Chronic alcohol users who
suddenly stop the intake of alcohol while taking bupropion may increase
the risk of having seizures. Suddenly stopping certain tranquilizers (e.g.,
diazepam, chlordiazepoxide) is not recommended because doing so may increase
the risk of having seizures. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to
the effects of Wellbutrin SR. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan
to become pregnant before taking Wellbutrin SR. Wellbutrin SR passes into breast
milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while
using Wellbutrin SR is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions
Before taking bupropion tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription
medications you may use especially: MAO inhibitors (e.g., isocarboxazid,
phenelzine, tranylcypromine, pargyline, selegiline, linezolid, furazolidone),
levodopa, ritonavir, corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone), sedatives, adrenaline-like
stimulants (e.g., ephedrine), products containing nicotine (e.g., patches
or gum). Also report use of drugs which might increase seizure risk (decrease
seizure threshold) such as: phenothiazines (e.g., chlorpromazine), tricyclic
antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline), isoniazid (INH), theophylline.
Excess caffeine intake can increase the chance of seizures with Wellbutrin SR.
Check all nonprescription/prescription drug labels for caffeine. Consult
your doctor or pharmacist. A certain product used to help quit smoking
contains bupropion. Do not take that product while using this one. Do
not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
Overdose
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or
emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include seizures,
hallucinations, rapid heart rate, and loss of consciousness.
Notes
Do not allow anyone else to take Wellbutrin SR.
Missed Dose
Take any missed dose as soon as possible but not if it is within 4 hours
of the next dose. If it is time for the next dose, skip the missed dose
and resume your regular schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose.
Storage
Store at room temperature and keep away from moisture and sunlight. Do
not store in the bathroom.
