Hi Ess.


I read that Wellbutrin (bupropion) both produced and exacerbated tics.

"Bupropion was effective in its few controlled trials, but tics and (especially in youth) skin rash limit its value."

--------------------------------------------------------

" We present four cases of children with ADHD and comorbid TS treated with bupropion in whom tics were exacerbated by this medicine. This series suggests that bupropion may not be an appropriate alternative to stimulants in the treatment of ADHD in TS."
