Get a bupropion (Wellbutrin) prescription online for mental health conditions

Wellbutrin is a prescription medication used to treat depression and to prevent seasonal affective disorder. While Wellbutrin is not FDA-approved to treat smoking cessation, Zyban—which contains the same active ingredient, bupropion—is.

Wellbutrin is also sometimes prescribed off-label for the following conditions:

• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Amphetamine-type stimulant use disorder
• Bipolar depression
• Cocaine use disorder
• Neuropathic pain
• SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction

Wellbutrin is generally well tolerated, especially compared to SSRI antidepressants like sertraline or escitalopram.

The most common side effects of bupropion (Wellbutrin) include:

• Agitation
• Blurry vision
• Common cold
• Constipation
• Dizziness
• Dry mouth
• Headaches
• Increased heart rate
• Migraines
• Nausea
• Runny nose
• Sore throat
• Sweating
• Tremors
• Trouble sleeping
• Vomiting
• Weight loss

Compared to other antidepressants, bupropion is four times as likely to cause seizures. This risk is dose-dependent, meaning higher doses are more likely to cause seizures compared to lower doses.

Taking the following medications may also increase your risk of seizures with bupropion:

• Antipsychotics
• Antidepressants
• Benzodiazepines
• Corticosteroids
• Opioids
• Sedatives
• Theophylline

Bupropion can also cause changes in mental health. In people with bipolar disorder, bupropion may cause a manic episode. It can also cause changes in thinking, including paranoia, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Report worsening mood or changes in thoughts and behaviors to your provider right away.

Bupropion can also increase the risk of acute angle-closure glaucoma. This occurs when eye drainage is blocked, causing a sudden increase in eye pressure. This is a medical emergency and can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly. Symptoms of acute angle-closure glaucoma include severe eye pain, redness, blurred vision, halos, nausea, and vomiting.

While not FDA approved, bupropion may help adults with ADHD. It can be used if a person has failed other ADHD therapies or has concurrent mental health conditions like depression or seasonal affective disorder.

Bupropion helps increase dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain. This can help improve focus, motivation, and impulse control.

Due to a lack of data, bupropion is not recommended to treat pediatric patients with ADHD. Bupropion can also increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children and young adults.

No, bupropion is only available by prescription from a licensed provider.
