As was previously mentioned, a hangover-like syndrome is common the next day after use of MDMA. MDMA withdrawal, which is thought to be caused by serotonin depletion, can last for weeks and includes symptoms of depression, anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia (Allen et al. 1993 McGuite et al. 1994). No specific treatments are currently indicated fot this withdtawal syndrome, although the antidepressant bupropion may be helpful (Solhkhah... 

Side effects. The primary side effects reported with bupropion administration in cigarette smokers are headache, dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, and activation. Although most of these adverse effects occur during the first week of treatment, insomnia can persist. Seizures are of exceedingly low occurrence (<0.5%) at doses of 300 mg daily or less, but a prior history of seizures or a seizure disorder contraindicate its use. 

Bupropion causes insomnia, nightmares, decreased appetite, anxiety, and tremors, but the most concerning adverse effect is seizures. Because of the risk for seizures, patients who should not receive the drug include those with a CNS lesion or those with a history of seizures, head trauma, or bulimia. The daily dose of bupropion should not exceed 450 mg/day, and any single dose of the immediate-release formulation should not exceed 150 mg/day Occurrences of insomnia and/or nightmares often respond to moving the last daily dose from bedtime to late afternoon.7,9,22,23... 

The occurrence of seizures with bupropion is dose related and may be increased by predisposing factors (e.g., history of head trauma or CNS tumor). At the ceiling dose (450 mg/day), the incidence of seizures is 0.4%. Other side effects include nausea, vomiting, tremor, insomnia, dry mouth, and skin reactions. It is contraindicated in patients with bulimia or anorexia nervosa. 

Trazodone, 25 to 100 mg, is often used for insomnia induced by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or bupropion. Side effects include serotonin syndrome (when used with other serotonergic drugs), oversedation, a-adrenergic blockade, dizziness, and rarely priapism. 

Bupropion should not be administered with sedating antihistamines because of the increased risk of seizures. Bupropion is used for smoking cessation therapy and may cause insomnia as a side-effect. Patients are advised to avoid taking bupropion dose at bedtime. 

Other new antidepressants, including bupropion, ven-lafaxine, nefazodone, and mirtazapine, have been found to be efficacious in the treatment of depressed adults, but only a few open-label studies have been carried out in children and adolescents (e.g., Daviss et ah, 2001). Bupropion and velanfaxine may be useful in treating youth with MDD and ADHD (Plizka, 2000 Daviss et ah, 2001). Because of the sedative effects of mirtazapine and trazodone, these medications have been used as adjunctive treatments for patients with severe insomnia. 

The most common side effects of bupropion are initial headache, anxiety, insomnia, increased sweating, and gastrointestinal upset.

Although more stimulating antidepressants (e.g., bupropion, SSRIs, venlafaxine, or certain MAOIs) do not potentiate alcohol, they can produce insomnia. To minimize this problem, the dose may be given earlier in the day. TCAs may cause episodes of excitement (rare), confusion, or mania, usually in patients with an underlying psychotic illness, suggesting that a preexisting disorder must be present for these drugs to exert any psychotomimetic effects.

Of the more recently introduced methods for smoking cessation, bupropion (an antidepressant with dopaminomimetic properties) has recently been introduced. Clinical trial data, in which the nicotine patch, bupropion at 300 mg, and a combination of the two drugs were compared with placebo treatment, have shown cessation of smoking rates of 36% for the patch, 49% for bupropion and 58% for the combined treatments following 7 weeks of treatment. The placebo response rate was 23%. All subjects received relapse prevention therapy. Thus bupropion appears to be a reasonably safe and effective treatment for nicotine dependence. It is however contraindicated in those subject to epilepsy its main side effects are dry mouth and insomnia. 

Bupropion is another second-line agent, particularly for patients who are wary of the SSRIs negative impact on sexual dysfunction. Because it appears to relieve depression through a completely different mechanism than SSRIs, enhancing norepinephrine or dopamine, it is often administered to patients who fail SSRIs or exhibit a partial response. The most common side effects encountered with bupropion are insomnia, jitteriness, and nausea. Bupropion is contraindicated in patients with a history of seizures or eating disorders. 

D Bupropion. Bupropion is the only agent that has the highest likelihood of causing jitteriness and insomnia at therapeutic doses. All of the other choices have significant sedative properties. Trazodone is commonly used as a hypnotic rather than as an antidepressant. 

Bupropion is a well-tolerated antidepressant. It is non-sedating and lacks the cardiovascular and anticholinergic side effects of tricyclic antidepressants. Bupropion s most commonly observed adverse effects are insomnia and dry mouth. The drug is also known to be associated with a low rate of seizures however, no seizure incidents were reported in the smoking cessation clinical trials. Other less frequently occurring side effects include nervous system disturbances (mainlytremor) and skin rashes (170,182).
