Role Of Bupropion In Helping With Depression |
 |
|
is a medication usually prescribed to patients with clinical depression. It may
be in the tablet or pills form. The generic name is Bupropion SR and it is
manufactured by most of the pharmaceuticals. Bupropion SR is the long acting
version of bupropion which is used for clinical depression.
Wellbutrin SR is an
approved medicine for depression and it is from the class of bupropion SR. This medicine acts in a way to activate the
brain nerve cells affecting the certain chemicals in the brain cells. Norepinephrine
and dopamine are the two of the several chemical substances which help in the
message sending process of the brain from one nerve cell to another. Whenever a message travels through the nerve cell,
the ends of the cells release either norepinephrine or dopamine.
Generic Bupropion can
be ordered from an online pharmacy.
These chemical
substances run between the gaps of the first nerve cell and next nerve cell. The
receptors on the second nerve cell get activated when sufficient amount of the
chemical substances reaches the second nerve cell. This helps in the continuity
of the message. When the message is passed to the second nerve cells, the first
nerve cells quickly reabsorb the norepinephrine or dopamine that is present in
the gap between the cells. This process is called as reuptake.
In a normal person this
process of reuptake is carried out without any problem. When there is unbalance
in the levels of norepinephrine or dopamine, depression occurs. Sometimes
reuptake can happen even before the message is passed to the next nerve cell.
The reuptake of norepinephrine or dopamine is blocked by the bupropion SR. This
helps the chemical substance to remain in the space between the nerve cells for
longer time resulting in the better activation of the receptors on the next
nerve cell. This mechanism helps greatly with depression symptoms.
