A healthcare provider may prescribe bupropion hydrochloride (Wellbutrin®) to treat the symptoms of depression, which can be caused when certain chemicals in the brain become unbalanced. Bupropion works by blocking the reuptake of these chemicals (norepinephrine and dopamine). The medication comes in a tablet form that is taken two to four times a day. Because bupropion can interact with certain other medications, it is important to tell your healthcare provider (prior to taking bupropion) about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
