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.
How To Take
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.
Warnings/Precautions

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,

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
