Bupropion for Depression Improves Day-to-day Functioning

Bupropion for Depression Improves Day-to-day Functioning – MM1511

Bupropion is a dopamine–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor that is effective not only for depressive disorders but also for nicotine dependence. Due to the lack of serotonergic activity, it has less propensity to induce sexual dysfunction, weight gain and a psychological side effect of apathy syndrome than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These adverse events are important because they are the primary reasons of SSRI discontinuation.
