Everything You Know About Bupropion (Wellbutrin)

Precautions

Talk to your doc about this med. They have to know your medical history! If you've got epilepsy, or something similar? Bupropion's not safe for you. Ever had an eating disorder? Docs don't often recommend taking this medication. Other considerations are if you've ever suddenly stopped taking sedatives or seizure meds. Your doc needs to know if they're going to recommend bupropion! You also can't take it for 2 conditions at the same time. It's not meant for that!

Other pieces of your medical history matter too. Men, remember all of it. Talk about if you've had a brain tumor, high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney disease. Liver problems too! Many, many men can't take this med if they have had certain health issues. Your doc needs the info so they can take precautions and fight for you with the right med! Under 18? Try something else! And men, don't get ahead of yourselves. You need to stop this med gradually. Talk to your doc about that to avoid complications! And if you need to take a drug test? Let the staff know about bupropion. It can cause false-positives!
