Question 4

can wellbutrin (bupropion) 100 mg be crushed and taken because im having problens taking it whole or in pieces its gets stuck for hours and wont go down

Accepted Answer

According : According to the food and drug administration, crushing, chewing or dividing wellbutrin (bupropion) can cause the medication to be released too quickly into your body and can increase the chance of adverse side effects such as seizures.

Try swallowing it with lots of water (at least 8oz) or swallow it with a spoonful of pudding or yogurt to mask it.  If you cannot swallow the pill whole, tell your doctor.  You may need to try a different medication.  I've added the information site for wellbutrin from the fda (food and drug administration) below.  Good luck!

Question 5

im taking wellbutrin (bupropion) sr 150 mg twice a day. (started 2weeks ago for the first time) i might have taken two at night. (3 in total for today) is it bad?

Accepted Answer

No, it's not bad.: No, 3 tabs is still a safe dose but you should try to keep track of the intake of your meds as much as possible.  You can use a pillbox or a diary to mark off when you took your meds. Your doctor could also prescribe Wellbutrin (bupropion) XL 300 mg once a day.

Question 6

i've been taking wellbutrin (bupropion) xl for a week. when will the appetite suppression kick in?

Accepted Answer

Wellbutrin (bupropion): Wellbutrin (bupropion) isn't a medicine given to suppress appetite -- it's given to people who are depressed (or as zyban, to help stop smoking).  Amongst antidepressants, it's  regarded as relatively weight-neutral.  This means it's less likely than others to cause weight gain.

Question 7

is it safe to take 300 mg of wellbutrin (bupropion) sr once a day (2x150 in the morning)? my dr told me so after taking 150 daily for about a month.

Accepted Answer

YES: However this is a maximum dose and you should review the side effect profile with the prescribing physician.

Question 8

is it okay to take ginkgo biloba if i'm taking wellbutrin (bupropion) ? i take wellbutrin (bupropion) in the morning could i take ginkgo biloba at night ?

Accepted Answer

Potential problem: The combination is not recommended due to an increased risk of seizures.

Question 9

began taking wellbutrin (bupropion) 2 months ago and i felt amazing, best i have felt in like 10 yrs, but suddenly stopped working and negative thoughts returned?

Accepted Answer

Speak to doctor: Write down what you were taking when feeling "amazing," including all meds (prescribed/OTC/supplements/birth control), any alcohol/drug/caffeine use, health status and life stresses. Do the same for when negative thoughts returned. Review this info with prescribing doctor. Many possible reasons, not uncommon. Best guidance is from doc who knows you best. Take care.

Question 10

could you split a wellbutrin (bupropion) sr pill  in half?

Accepted Answer

Not safely: Most sustained release tablets are made in layers to slow the release of drug.  Splitting them wd cause all of the drug to be released immediately.
