This case report describes a generalized
seizure associated with sustained-release bupropion use and sleep
deprivation. The subject, a 31-year-old female smoker, was participating
in a clinical trial evaluating an investigational medication for smoking
cessation that used sustained-release bupropion as an active control.
After 5 weeks of bupropion use, the subject experienced a generalized
tonic clonic seizure after staying up nearly all night packing and
moving to a new residence. The patient had no other risk factors for
seizures. We suggest that sleep deprivation may add to the risk of
bupropion-associated seizures.
