What is Wellbutrin SR used for?
Wellbutrin SR (Bupropion)
Wellbutrin SR is a drug belonging to the class of anti-depressants. It is used in the treatment of major depressive disorders and to quit nicotine addiction especially associated with smoking. Furthermore, it has been helpful in treating seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is a type of depression that occurs only in the fall and winter in susceptible individuals. Wellbutrin SR restores the natural balance of dopamine and norepinephrine, both neurotransmitters present in the brain. It is important to understand that Wellbutrin SR if being used in the treatment for depression, should not be used simultaneously to help quit smoking in the same individual.
Bupropion SR is a prescription drug, and you can buy it from Canada Pharmacy on your doctor's prescription.
