Sleepiness with Bupropion: can it happen?

58-year-old woman5 years ago
Hello, I have been taking bupropion for 3 weeks and I was wondering if I can take it before bedtime? My nights are not good and in the afternoon I fall asleep easily. Another thing, I blow my nose all the time, it's like the bottom of my nose is sensitive to air. Could this be related? Thank you for your help!

Hi, although it usually causes insomnia, some people do experience drowsiness with Bupropion. You could try moving it to bedtime to see if it improves your condition. To do this, skip a morning dose and take it at bedtime (not take 2 doses in one day). As for your nose symptoms, it seems unlikely to me that this is related to taking Bupropion, although nothing is impossible. Have you tried using a nasal douche, such as Sinus Rinse? As the thawing has begun, it is also possible that this is the beginning of allergic rhinitis...are you known for seasonal allergies? Do you have any other symptoms? Hoping to have answered your question, Laurie Hudon-Germain, pharmacist
