Top 10 Brain Posts 2015: Bupropion in ADHD

One of the top 10 Brain Posts featured a review of study of the drug bupropion for the treatment of ADHD.

Bupropion was origninally marketed as an antidepressant. The drug was found to also reduce cigarette cravings and has been marketed under the trade name Zyban for smoking cessation.

There is some indication the drug may be effective in some cases of ADHD.

The reviewed study found evidence of superiority of bupropion over placebo for ADHD in a small clinical trial involving 42 adults.
