What is welbrutin?

Welbutrin, also known by its generic name bupropion, is an antidepressant medication primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder. It is also prescribed to help people quit smoking by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Unlike many other antidepressants, Wellbutrin works on the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, rather than serotonin. Its unique mechanism of action can lead to fewer sexual side effects compared to traditional antidepressants.
