Alerta sobre a Bupropiona, Cuidados e Efeitos Colaterais | Dr. Tontura e Dra. Maria Fernanda

Bupropion Side Effects Bupropion is a widely used antidepressant today. The brand name is Wellbutrin, and the main similar drugs are: BUP, Zetron, Bupium, Zyban, Bupogran, Seth, Buene, and Noradop. To begin with, bupropion is metabolized by the liver, but does not overload it. It is available in two dosages: 150 and 300 mg, with dosages ranging from 150 mg, the minimum dose, to 450 mg. It is important, and we always explain this when starting the medication: it will not take effect immediately, overnight; it will take 2 to 4 weeks to begin to have its therapeutic effects. So, you need to be patient at the beginning of treatment. Oh, and there are adjustment effects that can occur – they can, but that doesn't mean they will, but if they do, they are usually temporary and disappear within a few days. These include: mild nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mild irritability, drowsiness, and insomnia. Overall, it's a very well-tolerated medication for most people, without causing drowsiness or sedation. All antidepressants can cause sexual side effects—some are more likely than others. Bupropion doesn't usually cause these dreaded sexual side effects, such as loss of sexual desire and difficulty achieving orgasm. The impact on sex life can be devastating and significantly worsen a person's quality of life. Therefore, bupropion has a very interesting safety profile regarding these side effects, being one of the antidepressants statistically least likely to cause these side effects.
