Who qualifies for Bupropion (Wellbutrin)

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if Bupropion (Wellbutrin) is an appropriate treatment. They look for specific criteria:

• A diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) or seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
• No history of seizures, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia nervosa), or abrupt alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal, as these are contraindications.
• No current use of medications that interact negatively with Bupropion, such as MAOIs or certain other antidepressants.
• Overall health status and medical history that indicate Bupropion is a safe and effective option for you.

The doctor's primary concern is your safety and well-being. If the doctor finds Bupropion (Wellbutrin) is not suitable for your condition, your consultation fee is fully refunded.

What Bupropion (Wellbutrin) actually does (and doesn't do)

Bupropion, often known as Wellbutrin, is an antidepressant that works differently from common SSRIs. It functions as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). This means it increases the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in your brain, neurotransmitters crucial for mood, motivation, and attention. By boosting these, Bupropion can help alleviate symptoms of depression like low mood, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Unlike SSRIs, Bupropion does not significantly affect serotonin levels, which often results in a different side effect profile, notably fewer sexual side effects. You can expect to start feeling improvements within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. It does not provide an immediate cure, but rather helps manage and reduce depressive symptoms over time when the doctor finds it appropriate for your case.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Bupropion (Wellbutrin) can cause side effects, though many are mild and temporary as your body adjusts. Common side effects can include dry mouth, insomnia, headache, nausea, and anxiety. These usually subside within a few weeks. It's important to report any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor. Red flags that require immediate medical attention include seizures, severe allergic reactions, or significant changes in mood or behavior, including suicidal thoughts.

Never stop taking Bupropion suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of depressive symptoms. Your EU-licensed doctor will provide clear guidance on dosage and when to discontinue the medication safely, if necessary.
