Abstract
Bupropion is an antidepresant that acts as a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor and has a favorable side-effect profile. The most common side-effects of this drug include insomnia, constipation, headache and dry mouth. Unlike these side-effects, we present a case in which visual hallucinations developed during use of sustained-release bupropion in therapeutic doses.
