What Is Forfivo XL Used For?
Forfivo™ XL (
bupropion XL) is a prescription medication approved for the treatment of
depression. It is a long-acting version of
bupropion, and is the only high-dose (450 mg), once-a-day formulation.
- Decreased interest in things that you used to enjoy
- Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
- Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
- Changes in sleep (sleeping too much or not enough)
- Changes in appetite, with weight gain or weight loss
- Physical pain.
Keep in mind that
antidepressants often take a few weeks, or even longer, to begin working. Sometimes, other people like friends, relatives, or coworkers will notice an improvement in your depression symptoms before you do. Often, improvements in your physical symptoms of depression, such as pain or changes in sleep, will be most noticeable at first before you notice significant improvements in mood. It is important to give
Forfivo XL a chance to work before becoming discouraged.
Counseling and therapy
(see Psychotherapy for Depression) are often used along with antidepressant medications to treat depression. Ask your healthcare provider if counseling or therapy would be good options for you
(see Depression Treatment).
