A question about a medication [View all]
I have had some memory problems the past year and my primary care doctor sent me to see a neurologist who says I have 'border line' dementia.
On one test I scored a 21 out of a possible 30,
and on another I scored a 25, where 26 and up is considered good.
She prescribed the anti-depressant Bupropion Sr 100 mg (Wellbutrin) for me, saying it has a side effect of helping improve memory.
When I picked the medication up at the pharmacy they gave me a handout with it and both sides of the sheet emphasized the possibility of having suicidal thoughts due to the medication.
The pharmacist was not present at the moment, and I didn't read the handout until I got home.
Has anyone here been on Bupropion Sr and how much of a concern is that?
I am not suicidal, but the thought that the med may cause such thoughts worries me to the point I don't know if I want to take the medication.
I do intend to follow up with my doctors and the pharmacist,
but would like to hear from any one who may have taken the drug.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
