Hi,

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com.

This are the side effects of Bupropion, they are the samefor adult and eldery persons. My patients presents the following side-effects:

dry mouth, nausea, stomach pain;
headache, dizziness, ringing in your ears;
vision changes;
loss of interest in sex;
sore throat, muscle pain;
mild itching or skin rash, increased sweating, increased urination; or.
changes in appetite, weight loss or gain.

My experience suggests that most side effects are generally mild or transient and can be managed using simple measures such as increasing intake of fruits or fiber, lower initial dose, or dose reduction.

Hope it helps,

Dr. Oscar Martinez
