If you experience symptoms of depression, your healthcare provider may prescribe Wellbutrin® (bupropion hydrochloride). As part of a class of drugs known as norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), Wellbutrin works by affecting specific chemicals within the brain, including dopamine and norepinephrine. This medication comes in tablet form, and is usually taken two to four times a day. Seek immediate medical attention if you overdose on Wellbutrin. Symptoms of a Wellbutrin overdose can include breathing problems, seizures, and changes in heart rhythm.
