Indication:
Wellbutrin XL (extended release) is an antidepressant medication indicated for treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and for prevention of seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
MDD, also referred to as depression or clinical depression, is a common mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest or pleasure in activities for long periods of time. Symptoms of MDD are often severe enough to affect work, school, and social functioning as well as relationships with others, and this disorder may require long-term treatment.
SAD is a form of depression that primarily affects individuals during the fall and winter months when there is less daylight, especially in locations farther from the equator. This lack of light can disturb one’s internal clock and influence melatonin and serotonin, two natural substances in the body that play a role in sleep timing and mood. SAD involves persistent symptoms of depression and people with SAD often feel tired and sleep more than usual.
Wellbutrin XL works by restoring the balance of two natural chemicals in your brain, norepinephrine and dopamine (called neurotransmitters).

The dose of Wellbutrin XL prescribed will vary depending on the individual and condition being treated. Follow all your healthcare provider’s instructions and read packaging labels carefully to ensure the best therapeutic results.

FAQs:
How does Wellbutrin XL work?
Wellbutrin XL belongs to a class of medications called NDRI, or norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors, which prevent the transport of norepinephrine and dopamine (chemical messengers) back into the brain cells that released them. Wellbutrin XL works specifically on these chemicals in the brain that affect mood.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Wellbutrin XL, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the time you normally would. Do not take double or extra doses.
Why should I avoid taking Wellbutrin XL and an MAOI?
Taking Wellbutrin XL and an MAOI together raises the risk of developing dangerously high blood pressure. Wellbutrin XL and MAOIs should not be taken within 2 weeks of each other. If you are starting Wellbutrin XL, you should avoid taking any MAOI within 2 weeks of the first dose.
