Wellbutrin 150 mg Tablet

Wellbutrin 150 mg is an oral tablet prescribed for the treatment of the major depressive disorder (MDD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and it is also used to help people in smoking cessation. It contains Bupropion (an antidepressant) that selectively inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine (NDRI). It also binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, thus activating these receptors without the use of cigarettes which helps people quit smoking. It is available in the form of both sustained release (SR) and extended release (XL) tablets. The sustained release tablet is usually to be taken twice a day- in the morning and afternoon, while the extended release tablet is usually to be taken once a day in the morning. However, the dose may vary depending on the prescription from your health-care provider. Do not overdose on this drug as it may cause seizures. In case you forget a dose, take it whenever you remember but do not take 2 consecutive doses.

 

How does Wellbutrin 150 mg work?

The active ingredient of Wellbutrin is Bupropion that belongs to the class of drugs known as antidepressants. It acts as both a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI) and a non-competitive nicotinic receptor antagonist. The reuptake of dopamine is inhibited by Bupropion through dopamine and norepinephrine transporters which results in its antidepressant activity.

It is also a non-competitive antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, that is, it binds to these receptors and helps in reducing the craving for cigarettes.

 

Uses of Wellbutrin 150 mg

It is used for the treatment of the following conditions-

  1. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)- aka clinical depression. It is diagnosed by checking the symptoms given in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Disorders (DSM).
  2. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)- a specific type of depression that usually occurs in the fall and winter seasons. It is now called Major Depression with Seasonal Pattern.
  3. Smoking cessation- to break off the smoking habit.

 

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage varies depending on the condition it is being used to treat but the usual starting dose is a tablet a day (taken in the morning). The dose may range from 150-450 mg per day. For smoking cessation, the usual dosage is one tablet per day for 3 consecutive days and twice a day for 7-10 weeks thereafter. The form and dose range is to be decided by your doctor. It can be consumed with food or on empty stomach. It’s to be swallowed intact without crushing, chewing, or breaking it.

 

What happens if I miss a dose?

For the sustained release (SR) form, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. But do keep the consecutive doses 4 to 6 hours apart. A double dose is not to be taken.

For the extended release (XL) form, wait till it is time for your next scheduled dose. No extra tablet is to be taken to compensate for the missing dose.

 

What happens if I take an overdose?

In case of an overdose, immediately contact your doctor or a health-care emergency number or a poison control center because you may experience seizures, abnormal heartbeats, hallucination, and/ or unconsciousness.
