Dextromethorphan/bupropion has less activity as an NMDA receptor antagonist than dextromethorphan alone. [11] This is because bupropion is a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor and prevents the bioactivation of dextromethorphan into dextrorphan, a much more potent NMDA receptor antagonist and weaker serotonin reuptake inhibitor than dextromethorphan itself ...

In another case, which has been studied extensively since the early 1970s, patients often have permanent damage, although some recovery is possible, depending on the nature of the pathophysiology. Usually, some capacity for learning remains, although it ...
