Wellbutrin (Bupropion)

Wellbutrin, also known by its generic name bupropion, is a medication primarily used to treat depression and help people stop smoking. It works by affecting chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters, specifically norepinephrine and dopamine, which influence mood and energy levels. Unlike some antidepressants, Wellbutrin is less likely to cause weight gain or sexual side effects. It can also boost energy and focus. However, it may increase the risk of seizures in some individuals and should be taken under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
