Bupropion belongs to a group of medications known as aminoketones. It impacts the way your body uses neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine to help regulate your moods.
Buspirone. Considered a modern anti-anxiety medication, buspirone (Buspar) is less likely to cause side effects than other medications and has no associated risk of causing dependence or ...
[1] [2] [3] The agents vilazodone and vortioxetine are partly atypical. Typical antidepressants include the SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, and MAOIs, which act mainly by increasing the levels of the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin and/or norepinephrine. [1] [2] [3] Among TCAs, trimipramine is an atypical agent in that it appears not to do this. [3]
Wellbutrin SR and XL are available in generic form in the United States and Canada. In 1997, bupropion was approved by the FDA for use as a smoking cessation aid under the name Zyban. [178] [176] In 2006, Wellbutrin XL was similarly approved as a treatment for seasonal affective disorder. [179] [180]
Buspirone has also been found to bind with much higher affinity to the dopamine D 3 and D 4 receptors, where it is similarly an antagonist. [45] A major metabolite of buspirone, 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine (1-PP), occurs at higher circulating levels than buspirone itself and is known to act as a potent α 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist.
The saying “knowledge is power” applies well in certain situations — like becoming a leader in your field of expertise or knowing the best places to eat (we all have different skills).
SSRIs can be combined with a host of other drugs including bupropion, α 2 adrenergic antagonists (e.g., yohimbine) as well as some of the atypical antipsychotics. The augmentation agents are said to behave synergistically with the SSRI although these are clearly of less value than taking a single compound that contains all of the necessary ...
Buprenorphine, sold under the brand name Subutex among others, is an opioid used to treat opioid use disorder, acute pain, and chronic pain. [18] It can be used under the tongue (sublingual), in the cheek (buccal), by injection (intravenous and subcutaneous), as a skin patch (transdermal), or as an implant.
