Bupropion overdose in an
adolescent.
Ayers S, Tobias
JD.
Department of Child Health, The University of Missouri,
Columbia 65212, USA.
Bupropion is a relatively new monocyclic
antidepressant whose mechanism of action remains unknown. In addition to
its use as an antidepressant, it has also been suggested to be effective
in children with attention deficit hyperactive disorder and more
recently as an aid in the cessation of cigarette smoking. The latter
indication has resulted in an increase in its use and therefore an
increased availability in households. To date, reports of overdoses in
pediatric patients are limited. We report a 14-year-old boy who ingested
1.5 to 3 g of bupropion in a suicide attempt. Previous reports of
bupropion ingestions and its management are
discussed.
