Wellbutrin SR® (bupropion SR) is a prescription medication approved for treating depression. By blocking the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine, the medicine can rebalance the levels of these chemicals in the brain, which can help improve depression symptoms. Wellbutrin SR comes in the form of sustained-release tablets that are generally taken twice a day. Potential side effects of the antidepressant include infections, nausea, and sore throat.
