Like many other antidepressants, this medication can display a unique array of symptoms when users have decided to stop taking this drug; especially when it is discontinued too quickly or without medical Bupropion withdrawal help. Unlike most other antidepressants though, Bupropion, also known as Wellbutrin, belongs to a class of antidepressant-like drugs called NDRIs or Norephinephrine Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors which are generally considered as stimulants. NDRIs work by acting on neurotransmitters Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter, as well as a hormone. As a hormone it is secreted through the adrenal gland and works conjunctively with adrenaline and epinephrine to provide the body with rapid energy during stressful times. As a neurotransmitter, Norepinephrine passes the nerve impulses of one cell within the nervous system onto the next cell. Our Sedona cessation program includes therapies that are specifically targeted to stabilize neurotransmitters.
Dopamine is similar in a way to adrenaline as it is a chemical messenger, and has an effect on the processes within the brain which control emotional responses, movement, and the ability to experience both pain and pleasure. Dopamine is commonly referred to as the body’s ‘reward chemical”. NDRIs increase Dopamine and Norepinephrine levels within the brain through preventing them from being absorbed into the cells which released them. This is a process called “reuptake inhibition”. This is a similar process to the way cocaine combats depression only temporarily. Cocaine will increase the Dopamine and use it all up. But, at some point, all of the Dopamine will be completely gone and often nothing will hold any reward or value to the person.
When an individual is in antidepressant withdrawal from Bupropion discontinuation, they may experience sleeplessness, anxiety, overstimulation, and even symptoms similar to Tourette’s. This often is because there is now a dopamine deficiency. Even when an individual did not have a dopamine or serotonin deficiency to begin with, using antidepressants can actually create real deficiencies. Bupropion withdrawal symptoms may include but are not limited to: anxiety, aggression, balance issues, brain zaps, blurred vision, concentration impairment, crying spells, constipation, dizziness, diarrhea, depersonalization, electric shock-like sensations, fatigue, hallucinations, high emotional sensitivity, hostility, indigestion, impaired speech, irritability, insomnia, jumpy nerves, lethargy, lack or loss of coordination, migraines/increased headaches, nervousness, nausea, over-reacting to things, paranoia, sleep or sensory disturbance, internal restlessness, tremor, troubling thoughts, illusions, visual changes, vivid dreams, and worsened depression. It is important to have Bupropion withdrawal help so that most, if not all, of these symptoms can be greatly eliminated.
This medication has several possibly severe Bupropion side effects that can occur from regular use, which is a common reason for wanting to go through Wellbutrin withdrawal. There have been possible links found between the uses of this antidepressant with cardiac birth defects. The findings suggested that the risk is doubled for specific heart defects when compared to infants whose mothers had not taken this medication. This medication may also increase blood pressure, and can cause possibly dangerous interactions with other drugs. Additionally, NDRIs are usually not a first choice treatment for depression, but instead are often used when other drugs have not worked. If a user of this medication suffers with Bupropion side effects or antidepressant withdrawal symptoms, dependence issues, tolerance, or any other problem that may lead them to discontinuing the medication, it is crucial to talk to your doctor or consult a rehab in order to help greatly minimize the withdrawals. Our Arizona treatment program offers medically supervised Bupropion discontinuation help to abate symptoms.
