Wellbutrin SR (generic)
Drug Uses
Wellbutrin SR (Anti Depressant) is a pharmaceutical prescription
antidepressant, which acts directly on the brain and other
nerve cells. It is also used to treat ADHD (Attention Deficit
Disorder), bipolar depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, cocaine
addiction, nicotine addiction, and lower back pain. Also,
aids in quitting smoking (identical to Zyban). It is chemically
unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, selective serotonin re-uptake
inhibitor, or other known antidepressant agents.
Wellbutrin SR comes as a tablet to take
it orally. It is usually taken one to three times a day and
may be taken with or without food. Do not crush, chew, or
divide Wellbutrin SR. Do not stop taking Wellbutrin SR without
talking to your doctor, especially if you have taken large
doses for a long time. Your doctor probably will want to decrease
your dose gradually. This drug must be taken regularly for
a few weeks before its full effect is felt.
Before taking Wellbutrin SR, tell your
doctor if you have: history of seizures or head injury or
brain tumor, heart disease, liver or kidney disease, eating
disorder, diabetes, alcohol dependence, any allergies, the
intent to quit smoking. Because of the possibility this drug
will make you dizzy and affect coordination, do not drive
or operate machinery until you get used to the drug's effects.
Limit or avoid consumption of alcoholic beverages; alcohol
can increase your risk of seizures. Chronic alcohol users
who suddenly stop the intake of alcohol while taking Wellbutrin
SR may increase the risk of having seizures. Suddenly stopping
certain tranquilizers is not recommended because doing so
may increase the risk of having seizures. If you are over
65 years old you may be more sensitive to the effects of this
drug. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become
pregnant before taking this drug. This drug passes into breast
milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding
while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor
before breast-feeding.
Take any missed dose as soon as possible
but not if it is within 4 hours of the next dose. If it is
time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your
regular schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose.
This medication is generally well tolerated.
Dry mouth, headache, increased sweating, nausea/vomiting,
constipation, anxiety, fatigue and blurred vision may occur.
If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor. Report
promptly: unusual weight loss or gain, palpitations, agitation,
trouble sleeping. Unlikely but report promptly: tremor, dizziness,
fainting, mood changes, slowed movements, difficulty urinating,
decreased sex drive, and drowsiness. Very unlikely but report
promptly: seizures, mental problems, fever, muscle aches,
yellowing of the eyes or skin. In the unlikely event you have
an allergic reaction to this drug, seek medical attention
immediately. Symptoms may include trouble breathing, rash,
itching, swelling, or severe dizziness. If you notice other
effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Store at controlled room temperature, 20?
to 25?C (68? to 77?F). Dispense in a tight, light-resistant
container.
Seek emergency medical attention if an
overdose is suspected. Symptoms of a Wellbutrin SR overdose
include seizures, hallucinations, loss of consciousness, weakness,
a fast heartbeat, and heart attack.
Dizziness may be more likely to occur when
you rise from a sitting or lying position. Rise slowly to
prevent dizziness and a possible fall. Too much of this medicine
can increase the risk of a seizure. Limit the consumption
of caffeine while taking Wellbutrin SR.
