Hi Kelly,

Wellbutrin (Bupropion Hydrochloride) is an antidepressant that works by helping to balance the levels of brain chemicals that are thought to be linked to mood, emotions, and mental state. I used to take it myself. The most common side effects are nausea, constipation, weight loss, dry mouth, loss of appetite, dizziness, increased sweating, trembling or shaking. Also, if your sister-in-law's granddaughter smokes, it may help her to quit, since Wellbutrin contains the same drug as the anti-smoking pill, Zyban. I got some of this info from a book that I use all of the time since my husband and I take so many prescription drugs...it is called "Reader's Digest's Prescription & Over-the-Counter Drugs"...a huge, thick guide to drugs of all kinds including usage info, dosage guidlines, precautions, interactions, side-effects, etc. You may want to pick it up. Plus, you can find tons of info on most any drug by doing a search on the internet, or even searching around on this site.
