Wellbutrin is well-known for its antidepressant qualities.

Doctors have been recommending Wellbutrin to children with ADHD or ADD for some time now. When children have this problem it can cause many problems for them in school and also at home with their family. Bupropion is the actual medication in this drug. In some cases Wellbutrin can be used to help people stop smoking by relieving the tension and stress involved during the transitional period. There are a few forms of this medication and one is an extended release tablet. In some cases especially for children and extended release medication allows the child to use this drug without having to take it multiple times per day. Wellbutrin, as with any medication is very important that you speak with your doctor about using it for you or your children. This is a very strong medication and can cause complications for some people and especially if they are taking other types of medications. Antidepressants are used to help people typically through situations to get back to a normal life, but they are not used forever.
