Bupropion is an atypical antidepressant medication sold under the brand names include Wellbutrin, Aplenzin, and Zyban, and formerly Budeprion.[1][2][3] In addition to treating depression and severe pain, it is also used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and to reduce cravings in smoking cessation and drug addiction.[1][4]
Types[edit | edit source]
Bupropion is available in different forms, and may be combined with other drugs for particular uses, including
- Bupropion for smoking cessation, brand name Zyban
- Bupropion for major depression, brand name Wellbutrin[4]
Theory[edit | edit source]
Buproprion, like all antidepressants, does not address the underlying mechanisms of ME/CFS, so should not be regarded as a cure. It should be used only to reduce particular symptoms or treat a co-existing disorder (e.g. depression), and it is not a primary treatment for ME/CFS.[5]
ME/CFS patients may tolerate brand name bupropion better than generic versions due to sensitivities.[citation needed]
