Bupropion Health Feed

Asked for male, 27 years old from Darjeeling

Hello, first of all thanks to each and everyone of you for you service to the society. My question is, basically I am on my 48th day of assistance from marijuana. I haven't smoked cigarette for over 4 yrs. I drink once a week moderately. Since I quit marijuana the first few weeks for horrible, experienced almost everything physically & mentally. (anxiety & frequent panic attacks). I spoke to a psychiatrist who prescribed me bupron sr 150 which worked wonders. But while doing physical activities the shortness of breath, lightheaded ness & dizziness was there. One particular day my chest was bothering me and my heart rate was fast. So I did a full body test. Cholesterol ldl was 121mgdl and hdl was 74mgdl. Ecg & chest xray was normal according to the physician I visited. He told me there is nothing to worry about and prescribed me pantozil 40, alegaard-m & etilaam 0.5 mg. Which has comforted me in carrying on my regular activities. The only concern is I still feel lightheaded and dizzy at times sometimes after exercising. It has definitely improved from before as I am exercising better day by day. I also have chest congestion & mucus which bother me all the time for a while. Should I be worried about the lightheadedness as the physician had told me not to worry it will heal with time. I don't get panic attacks anymore. But the light headed ness makes me paranoid about my health. P.s. My appetite is fine. I eat well everyday. Also regarding my marijuana intake. I smoked on rare occasions between the age 20-24. Smoked frequently from 24-27. However, I have taken breaks in the middle. No issues with my sleep either neither do I sweat.

Brother, keep it up. You can add tab levocet 5 mg once daily. More important is also start doing pranayaam and meditation. Also daily read, listen or watch some spiritual or motivational talk, maybe for just 10 minutes. If you regularly follow it, success will be quick and complete. All the best.

Loss of interest in sex can be due to medication or depression. If it is due to depression it will improve with venlor xr, otherwise it will worsen. Antidepressants without effects on sex are available such as bupron, trazonil, vilano and so on. Consult a psychiatrist on this!

Your medicines don't match a single disorder. Looks like you are having different range of symptoms.
Can you share your symptoms please ?

Dear lybrate-user,
Why was bupropion prescribed for you? It may be for depression. It might take 2-3 weeks to take antidepressant action. Till then your mood will not be stabilised. Occasionally, you may have a manic switch, if you have bipolar depression and you were prescribed bupropion without any mood stabiliser. Contact your doctor earlier than the date given to you.

Atomoxetine and methylphenidate are the first line medication for ADHD, bupripion is considered as second line treatment for ADHD treatment. I hope it clear your doubts.

Bupropion helps with affective disorder or depression. If depression is the cause of your sexual dysfunction, than it might help, but you need to consult a psychiatrist before using this drug.

If depression is diagnosed by specialist, then bupropion will definitely help although first preference is given to other ssris depending on patient profile. But atomoxetine is not used for depression as 1st or 2nd line unless adhd symptoms are there along with depression. So amtalk to your psychiatrist and clarify your diagnosis first and why atomoxetine is added.

Dear Sir, buproprion is an antidepressant medication used for the treatment of depression and anxiety. In some people, there can be an increase in anxiety in the beginning of treatment but it usually subsides in 1-2 weeks time. Not all the patients who are on buproprion get this side effect. Please continue the medication as prescribed by your doctor and do not alter or stop the medicines without consulting your psychiatrist.
