Wellbutrin SR
Uses
Wellbutrin SR is used to treat depression.
How to take this medication
Take Wellbutrin SR with food if stomach upset occurs. Take Wellbutrin
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 Wellbutrin (bupropion) will increase
your risk of having a seizure. Do not stop taking Wellbutrin without notifying
your doctor. Since Wellbutrin 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 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, 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 Wellbutrin SR, 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 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 this drug. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant
or plan to become pregnant before taking Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin passes
into breast milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding
while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions
Before taking Wellbutrin SR 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. 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 Wellbutrin. Do not start or stop any medicine without
doctor or pharmacist approval.
Missed Dose
If you miss a Wellbutrin SR dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it
is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your
usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Storage
Store Wellbutrin SR at room temperature and keep away from moisture and
sunlight. Do not store in the bathroom.
