Bupropion is a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI) antidepressant used to treat depression, certain anxiety disorders, and to help patients quit smoking. The medication is more commonly known by the brand names Wellbutrin and Zyban, though in most areas patients also have the option to buy bupropion as a generic.

It's possible to buy bupropion and Wellbutrin both in several formulations:

• Bupropion/Wellbutrin immediate release tablets, typically taken three times per day to treat depression;
• Bupropion/Wellbutrin SR (sustained-release) tablets or Zyban tablets, typically taken twice per day to treat depression or to help quit smoking;
• Bupropion/Wellbutrin XL (extended-release) tablets, typically taken once per day to treat depression or anxiety.

When treating depression, the decision to buy bupropion immediate-release, SR, or XL is largely a matter of patient preference and response to treatment; individuals may find a particular form more effective than the others. Clients interested in this product as a smoking cessation aid should buy bupropion SR or Zyban, as it is usually the most effective in curbing cravings and minimizing withdrawal symptoms.

Treating Depression with Bupropion

Patients diagnosed with depression quickly learn there's quite a few types of antidepressants out there--SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, NDRIs, and many others. Two things that most patients don't know, however, are: all antidepressants are about equally effective, and no one is really sure exactly how they work.

There are, of course, variations between individuals, but for the most part any given antidepressant is effective for about 70 percent of patients who take it. Unless a particular medication has proven to be ineffective for an individual, considerations in choosing an antidepressant have more to do with side effects, convenience, cost and availability. Taking these factors into account, many patients prefer to buy bupropion because:

• Patients taking bupropion are unlikely to experience the negative sexual side effects associated with other antidepressants---to the contrary, some patients report increased libido;
• Bupropion does not promote weight gain like other antidepressants---in fact, many patients experience mild to moderate weight loss;
• Bupropion is moderately more effective at alleviating symptoms of anxiety and fatigue resulting from depression than SSRIs.

Dosage and administration will vary depending on the type of bupropion being used. SR and XL tablets should always be swallowed whole and not crushed, chewed, dissolved, or otherwise damaged, as this will release too much medication at once. Taking more than the recommended amount of the medication increases risk of serious side effects, such as seizure.

Treatment typically lasts several months at a minimum, and may continue for years. It takes several weeks of therapy before full benefits are felt. If there are no noticeable improvements at all after a month of treatment, alternative options should be considered.

Quit Smoking with Bupropion

As a smoking cessation aid only bupropion SR/Wellbutrin SR or Zyban should be used. Bupropion is somewhat unique as a quitting aid in that it contains no nicotine. Patients may smoke and use nicotine replacement therapies in addition to bupropion. Treatment is typically initiated two weeks prior to attempting to quit.

The medication helps smokers quit by:

• Reducing the pleasurable effects of smoking;
• Reducing nicotine cravings;
• Minimizing withdrawal symptoms.

Treatment typically continues for 8 weeks, and may be extended if significant progress has been made but smoking has not quite stopped.
