Is taking bupropion during rTMS treatment associated with seizures?
The researchers of this paper attempted to determine if seizure risk increased when receiving rTMS and taking an antidepressant called bupropion (Wellbutrin). Researchers found that while rTMS-induced seizures are uncommon and may be linked to factors like sleep deprivation, taking multiple medications, or pre-existing neurological conditions, the review found no cases of rTMS-induced seizures in patients taking bupropion alone. This suggests that taking bupropion should not be considered a reason to avoid rTMS treatment.

Patient-Centred Research: New Research from the NINET Lab on the Side Effects Associated with rTMS One of the most critical aspects of clinical practice is to have up to date information on both the benefits and risks associated to a therapeutic intervention. They both equally important for patients and clinicians to inform decisions related to […]
