People who suffer from depression can benefit from using Wellbutrin® (bupropion hydrochloride), an antidepressant that is available by prescription. The medication works by helping to balance certain chemicals in the brain. Most people tolerate Wellbutrin well; and even when side effects occur, they are usually minor. Some side effects of Wellbutrin include nausea, shakiness, and a loss of appetite. Wellbutrin comes in tablet form and it is usually taken two to four times a day.
