Bupropion is a well‑established antidepressant used across the United States and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Under the brand name Zyban, it is also approved as a prescription aid to help adults stop smoking. The medicine is dispensed as immediate‑release (IR), sustained‑release (SR), and extended‑release (XL) tablets in a variety of strengths. Because dosing and formulation influence both effectiveness and tolerability, choosing the right version (IR, SR, or XL) is an important conversation to have with your prescriber.

Common brand names in the U.S. include Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL, Zyban, and Aplenzin (bupropion hydrobromide; strengths equivalent to 150 mg, 300 mg, and 450 mg of bupropion HCl). Generic bupropion is widely available and is the most cost‑effective option for many patients. As with all antidepressants in the U.S., bupropion requires a valid prescription. Many patients obtain their prescription via an in‑person evaluation or through reputable telehealth services that operate in accordance with state and federal regulations.

Bupropion cost and U.S. pricing

Generic bupropion offers substantial savings compared with brand‑name products. Pricing varies by formulation (IR, SR, XL), strength, quantity, and pharmacy network. Insurance coverage, deductibles, and pharmacy discount programs also influence the final out‑of‑pocket cost. Below is a general orientation to U.S. retail pricing trends to help you set expectations before you order.

For SR 150 mg tablets, many U.S. pharmacies offer 60 tablets (a typical one‑month supply when taken twice daily) at competitive cash prices. With discount programs, the per‑tablet cost can be notably reduced. XL 150 mg and XL 300 mg tablets are popular due to once‑daily dosing; 30‑ and 90‑count fills usually provide the best value per dose. Immediate‑release 75 mg and 100 mg tablets are commonly used for initial titration or for patients who require smaller divided doses.

While advertised prices on aggregator sites can vary week to week, patients often find that: - SR 150 mg: 60 tablets may be priced in an accessible range at many chain pharmacies, with additional savings via coupons. - XL 150 mg or 300 mg: 30 tablets are frequently competitively priced, and 90‑day fills usually offer a lower per‑tablet cost. - IR 100 mg: 60–90 tablets are typically less expensive per unit but require more frequent dosing.

Always compare prices at the point of checkout and consider using discount cards or pharmacy savings programs. If you have insurance, check your plan’s formulary—generic bupropion is usually Tier 1 or Tier 2, resulting in lower copays. Patients paying cash can still benefit from transparent U.S. pricing tools and coupons to bring costs down.

Bupropion in the United States

Getting bupropion in the U.S. requires a valid prescription. The process is simple: complete a medical evaluation with your healthcare provider or a licensed telehealth clinician, discuss whether bupropion is appropriate for your needs (MDD, SAD, or smoking cessation), and have your prescription sent electronically to your preferred U.S. pharmacy for fulfillment.

What is bupropion?

Bupropion is an antidepressant in the aminoketone class and is pharmacologically categorized as a norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). Unlike SSRIs and SNRIs, it has minimal direct effect on serotonin reuptake. This distinct mechanism can offer advantages for certain patients, such as a lower likelihood of sexual side effects or weight gain. Bupropion is FDA‑approved for major depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder, and—under the brand Zyban—as a medication to help adults stop smoking.

Beyond approved uses, clinicians may consider bupropion for off‑label indications when appropriate, such as attention‑deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults, SSRI‑associated sexual dysfunction (as an adjunct), or as part of combination depression therapy. Off‑label use should always be guided by a healthcare professional who can assess risks and benefits.

Because bupropion can lower the seizure threshold at higher doses or in predisposed individuals, patient selection and careful titration are important. It is contraindicated in patients with seizure disorders and in those with a current or prior diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa due to an elevated risk of seizures. Your clinician will screen for these and other safety factors before prescribing.

Bupropion for depression (MDD and SAD)

For major depressive disorder, bupropion has demonstrated efficacy comparable to many first‑line antidepressants. It is often selected when patients want to avoid sexual side effects, excessive sedation, or weight gain. Some people experience increased energy and improved motivation, which can be beneficial for certain depressive symptom profiles. Because bupropion is activating for many, it is typically taken earlier in the day to minimize insomnia.

In seasonal affective disorder, bupropion XL is specifically approved to prevent seasonal relapse. Treatment often starts in the fall, prior to the usual onset of symptoms, and continues through early spring. Your clinician will work with you to determine the right start date, dose, and duration based on your symptom pattern.

Response timelines vary. Some patients begin noticing improvements in energy, concentration, or drive in 1–2 weeks, but full mood benefits may take 4–6 weeks or longer. Adherence to the prescribed regimen and consistent follow‑up with your prescriber are key to achieving optimal outcomes.

How bupropion works (NDRI mechanism)

Bupropion inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, increasing their availability in certain brain regions implicated in mood regulation and reward pathways. This NDRI effect is thought to improve depressive symptoms like low energy, impaired motivation, and anhedonia. Bupropion also acts as a non‑competitive antagonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, a property relevant to its role in smoking cessation.

Bupropion for smoking cessation (Zyban)

As a prescription aid for quitting smoking, bupropion can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. The standard approach is to begin therapy 1–2 weeks before your planned quit date, allowing steady‑state levels to develop. Many patients use bupropion alongside coaching, digital tools, or behavioral counseling, which substantially improves quit rates. In some cases, clinicians combine bupropion with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT); because this combination can increase blood pressure, monitoring is advised.

Not everyone should use bupropion for smoking cessation. Individuals with a seizure disorder, a history of eating disorders, or who are abruptly discontinuing alcohol or sedatives should not take bupropion. Your clinician will advise you on suitability and will help develop a personalized quit plan.

Does bupropion have unique advantages?

Compared with many SSRIs, bupropion is less likely to cause sexual dysfunction or weight gain. It is often activating rather than sedating, which some patients prefer. It can be a useful adjunct when partial response occurs with another antidepressant, and it is a proven, non‑nicotine option for smoking cessation.

Bupropion formulations: IR, SR, and XL

Bupropion is available in three primary oral formulations that differ in release kinetics and dosing frequency:

- Immediate‑Release (IR): typically dosed two or three times daily. Useful for titration but less convenient for long‑term therapy.
- Sustained‑Release (SR): dosed twice daily. Common for MDD and smoking cessation.
- Extended‑Release (XL): dosed once daily. Common for MDD and SAD, and widely chosen for convenience.

Do not crush, split, or chew SR or XL tablets. Doing so can lead to rapid release of the drug and increase seizure risk. If swallowing tablets is difficult, speak with your clinician about alternative strategies.

Who should not take bupropion? Contraindications and precautions

Bupropion is contraindicated in patients with a seizure disorder, a current or prior diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa, those undergoing abrupt discontinuation of alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or antiepileptic drugs, and in patients with a known hypersensitivity to bupropion or its components. Concomitant use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of MAOI discontinuation, is contraindicated due to the risk of hypertensive reactions.

Use caution in patients with the following: severe hepatic impairment (dose reductions and extended dosing intervals are often required), renal impairment (monitor and consider dose adjustments), bipolar disorder (risk of precipitating mania/hypomania), hypertension (blood pressure may increase, especially when combined with NRT), and angle‑closure glaucoma risk. Alcohol can increase the risk of neuropsychiatric effects and seizures; avoid alcohol binges and discuss your alcohol use with your prescriber.

Safety and boxed warning

Antidepressants, including bupropion, carry an FDA boxed warning for increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children, adolescents, and young adults, particularly during treatment initiation and dose changes. Close monitoring by clinicians, caregivers, and patients is essential. Contact a healthcare professional immediately if you notice mood or behavior changes, worsening depression, agitation, or suicidal ideation.

How to take bupropion (IR, SR, XL)

Follow your prescriber’s directions exactly. Bupropion can be taken with or without food. If you experience stomach upset, taking it with food may help. To reduce insomnia, take doses earlier in the day. Do not exceed the prescribed maximum daily dose. Swallow SR and XL tablets whole with water—do not crush, split, or chew.

Bupropion dosage and titration (MDD, SAD)

Dosing must be individualized. Typical adult regimens include:

- MDD (SR): Start 150 mg once daily in the morning for 3 days, then increase to 150 mg twice daily (minimum 8 hours apart). Maximum usually 400 mg/day in divided doses.
- MDD (XL): Start 150 mg once daily; may increase to 300 mg once daily after several days. Some patients may be considered for 450 mg once daily with careful monitoring.
- SAD (XL): Start 150 mg once daily in early fall; after several days, increase to 300 mg once daily if tolerated. Treatment often continues through winter, tapering in early spring per clinician guidance.

Immediate‑release regimens use smaller doses split across two or three daily administrations (for example, 100 mg twice daily to start), with cautious titration. The risk of seizures increases with higher doses; adhere strictly to your prescribed plan.

Bupropion dose for smoking cessation (Zyban schedule)

Standard adult Zyban‑equivalent dosing is 150 mg once daily for 3 days, then 150 mg twice daily thereafter. Choose a quit date during the second week of therapy. Continue treatment for 7–12 weeks; some patients benefit from a longer duration. If you miss a dose, skip it and take the next dose at the usual time—do not double up. Blood pressure monitoring is recommended, especially if combined with nicotine replacement therapies.

Dosing tips to improve tolerability

- Take earlier in the day to minimize insomnia.
- Space SR doses at least 8 hours apart.
- Do not exceed a single dose of 150 mg for IR, 200 mg for SR, or 450 mg daily for XL unless your clinician specifically instructs otherwise.
- If you have liver or kidney impairment, follow your prescriber’s adjusted schedule.
- Never crush or chew SR/XL tablets.

Bupropion use instructions

Consistency matters. Take your medication at the same time each day and continue even if you feel well unless your clinician directs you to stop. Do not stop bupropion abruptly without medical advice, as abrupt discontinuation can worsen mood symptoms or increase the risk of withdrawal‑like effects. If you miss a dose, wait and take the next dose at your usual time.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Discuss risks and benefits with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Data on bupropion in pregnancy are limited; clinicians weigh the potential benefits of maintaining maternal mental health against potential risks to the fetus. Bupropion is excreted into breast milk; your clinician will help assess whether to continue therapy or consider alternatives based on your clinical situation.

Pharmacist’s tips for taking bupropion

- Take in the morning and, if applicable, early afternoon to reduce sleep disruption.
- Avoid excessive alcohol; alcohol binges increase seizure risk.
- For smoking cessation, set a quit date 1–2 weeks after starting therapy and use coaching or digital tools to improve success rates.
- Track blood pressure periodically, especially if you have hypertension or are using nicotine replacement.
- Tell your clinician about all medicines and supplements. Bupropion inhibits CYP2D6 and can raise levels of certain drugs (for example, some antidepressants, antipsychotics, beta‑blockers).
- If you have bipolar disorder, close monitoring is important due to the risk of mania/hypomania.

Safety Precautions

Do not use bupropion if you have a seizure disorder, current or past bulimia or anorexia nervosa, or are abruptly stopping alcohol or sedatives. Do not use with MAOIs or within 14 days of stopping an MAOI. Contact your clinician immediately if you experience seizure activity, severe anxiety or agitation, worsening depression, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, or severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing).

Bupropion side effects

Most side effects are mild to moderate and tend to improve as your body adapts. Common effects include dry mouth, nausea, insomnia, headache, tremor, sweating, constipation, dizziness, and anxiety. Bupropion is less likely than many antidepressants to cause weight gain or sexual dysfunction; some patients experience weight loss or improved sexual function.

Serious but uncommon effects include seizures (risk increases with higher doses or predisposing factors), severe hypertension, allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis or rash), hallucinations or psychosis (more likely at higher doses or in predisposed individuals), mania/hypomania in patients with bipolar disorder, and angle‑closure glaucoma in susceptible individuals.

If you notice new or worsening mood or behavior changes, suicidal thoughts, severe headaches, chest pain, shortness of breath, vision changes, or any neurologic symptoms, seek medical care promptly.

Bupropion drug interactions

Bupropion is metabolized primarily via CYP2B6 and is a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor. It can increase concentrations of drugs that rely on CYP2D6 for clearance. Always tell your clinician and pharmacist about all prescription medicines, OTC products, vitamins, and herbal supplements you use.

Medications and substances of concern include:

• MAO inhibitors (e.g., phenelzine, tranylcypromine); linezolid; IV methylene blue
• other bupropion‑containing products (risk of overdose)
• drugs that lower seizure threshold (e.g., tramadol, antipsychotics, theophylline, systemic steroids, quinolones)
• CYP2D6 substrates (e.g., venlafaxine, desipramine, nortriptyline, paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline, atomoxetine, metoprolol, carvedilol, certain antipsychotics, tamoxifen)
• CYP2B6 inducers or inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, efavirenz, clopidogrel, cyclophosphamide) which may alter bupropion levels
• nicotine replacement therapies (may raise BP; monitor)
• alcohol (binge use increases seizure risk)

This list is not exhaustive. Your healthcare provider can manage or avoid interactions by adjusting doses, changing medications, or scheduling appropriate monitoring.
