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 Taken

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.

Patients taking selective serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs/SNRIs) to treat depression should be cautious when simultaneously taking migraine headache drugs known as triptans, as they could develop a life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome.
Serotonin syndrome -- which occurs when the body has too much of the nervous system chemical serotonin -- can include symptoms such as hallucinations, restlessness, loss of coordination, rapid heart beat, increased body temperature, rapid changes in blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and overactive reflexes, according to the FDA. There is no lab test to diagnose serotonin syndrome; it is only recognized from its symptoms.
Common SSRIs include Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil and Lexapro; common SNRIs are Cymbalta and Effexor. Commonly prescribed triptans include Axert, Amerge, Imitrex and Zomig. The FDA warns that patients taking triptans with either SSRIs or SNRIs should consult a doctor prior to stopping their medication.
Natural options for treating migraines include eating fish, rye and celery, as well as supplementing with the herbs guarana and skullcap. Depression can often be relieved by eating oats, cabbage and brown rice, and by taking the herbs St. John's wort and lemon balm. However, patients on antidepressants and/or migraine medications should consult with a qualified medical practitioner before stopping or altering their medications. Various natural treatments for depression are listed a HerbReference.com.
Consumer health advocate Mike Adams, a frequent critic of antidepressant medications, saw the news as, "...yet further evidence that these synthetic chemicals do not belong in the human body. They do not prevent any disease or make any person healthier in the long run. But they do present significant health risks that can lead to severe injury or even death."
