Starting on bupropion. what are some things to keep in mind?
13 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bad And Good: Bupropion is a very effective antidepressant. With any new medication one may experience transient side effects such as nausea, headache, or dizziness. These should pass after several days. Insomnia and loss of appetite are longer term side effects. Aside from these negative aspects, expect to see your depression improve, your energy level to rise and your concentration to improve. Good luck.

Bupropion: Things to keep in mind when taking bupropion. 1. If you ingest large amounts of caffeine – you may wish to wean down on that before starting Wellbutrin. 2. Wellbutrin is stimulating – so, it should not be taken in evening or at night. 3. Wellbutrin should not be used if you have an eating disorder or a seizure disorder.
