In Europe the medications often have a different trade name. Can anyone tell me the latin or chemical name for Wellbutrin?

Thanks.

Buproprion HCL. Here's a link (http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/zyban/zyban.htm) to some more info on it. You might also check out the prescribing info that's available online, too. Good stuff, I say. :) Don't worry too much about where it says it decreases seizure threshold. My doc says that is basically not a factor unless you drink like a fish or have a seizure disorder already.

The generic name is Bupropion. If this does not help you could try looking up these key words on Google:
"bupropion wellbutrin chemical name"

I hope this is helpful!

Sold here in Canada under the name "zyban" as a tool to help you quit smoking - works well for that too. It's easier to get samples of zyban than it is wellbutrin, at least here in Canada - so you often see doctors giving samples of zyban.
