Wellbutrin® (bupropion hydrochloride) is a prescription medication that is approved to treat the symptoms of depression. The drug works by allowing certain brain chemicals (dopamine and norepinephrine) to stay in the brain for a longer period of time. Side effects of Wellbutrin may include nausea, insomnia, and weight loss. In order for Wellbutrin to work properly, you must take it as prescribed. Typically, Wellbutrin is taken by mouth two to four times a day. If you do not take your Wellbutrin as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double your dose of Wellbutrin.
