IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the three sections of this Medication
Guide. The first section is about the risk
of suicidal thoughts and actions with antidepressant medicines; the
second section is about the risk of
changes in thinking and behavior, depression and suicidal thoughts or
actions with medicines used to quit
smoking; and the third section is entitled “What Other Important
Information Should I Know About
bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (XL)?”
Antidepressant Medicines, Depression and Other Serious Mental
Illnesses, and Suicidal Thoughts or Actions
This section of the Medication Guide is only about the risk of
suicidal thoughts and actions with
antidepressant medicines.
What is the most important information I should know about
antidepressant medicines, depression and other
serious mental illnesses, and suicidal thoughts or actions?
1.
Antidepressant medicines may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or
actions in some children,
teenagers, or young adults within the first few months of treatment.
2.
Depression or other serious mental illnesses are the most important
causes of suicidal thoughts and
actions. Some people may have a particularly high risk of having
suicidal thoughts or actions. These
include people who have (or have a family history of) bipolar illness
(also called manic-depressive
illness) or suicidal thoughts or actions.
3.
How can I watch for and try to prevent suicidal thoughts and actions
in myself or a family member?
•
Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in
mood, behaviors, thoughts, or
feelings. This is very important when an antidepressant medicine is
started or when the dose is
changed.
•
Call your healthcare provider right away to report new or sudden
changes in mood, behavior, thoughts,
or feelings.
