Bupropion hydrochloride (Wellbutrin^®) is a prescription medication that is used to treat depression. The medicine works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine when the levels of these chemicals become unbalanced in the brain.

The medicine comes in tablet form and is generally taken two to four times a day. It must be taken as prescribed in order to work properly. As with all medicines, there are potential side effects with bupropion, including nausea, insomnia, and a dry mouth. Before taking this product, talk to your healthcare provider if you have any allergies or other medical conditions, such as diabetes, epilepsy, a brain tumor, or an eating disorder.
