What is Bupropion Prescribed For?
Bupropion is an antidepressant medication that works in the brain. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and for smoking cessation.Clinicians prescribe it off-label to treat excess weight and obesity because clinical evidence shows it also helps people lose weight.
How Does Bupropion Work?
Bupropion is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). It works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, which increases their levels in the brain, reducing cravings and improving mood.
What to Expect
