Bupropion Mnemonic Review for Nursing (NCLEX) | Treat Depression, Mechanism of Action

Review how Bupropion can treat depression, as well as its side effects.

Study this Bupropion mnemonic and other NCLEX mnemonics with Pixorize.

Bupropion is an atypical antidepressant used to treat depression and help with smoking cessation. The biggest adverse effect is that bupropion can cause seizures. The patient should avoid alcohol, as well as crushing or chewing the pills, as both of these things can increase the risk of seizures.

I've been taking Bupropion for 3 months and it doesn't give me any side effects. I naturally have really low blood pressure, so the fact that the drug increases it is actually beneficial for me.
Previously I tried 3 different SSRIs and they all gave me emotional numbness, constant nausea, sleeping problems and lack of sex drive.
I guess you just have to try antidepressants from different groups and find a good match for yourself.

Side effects can also include insomnia, tremor, anorexia, and weight loss. Contraindications include patients with seizure disorders, eating disorders, and those abruptly discontinuing the use of alcohol or sedatives secondary to seizure risk.

For the first few days it seemed to help. It does help me sleep better but it seems like for anxiety it only works a little. I'll keep taking it and hopefully it starts working better for me.

I need help to quit smoking and have major depressive disorder, was prescribed Wellbutrin and have been postponing picking it up because the idea of taking medication makes me uneasy. Wasn’t told it can cause seizures. What the hell do I do…
