Abstract
We report the case of a 44-year-old right-handed woman who experienced her first convulsion while taking bupropion. Electroencephalography showed freq uent bilateral independent temporal lobe epileptiform discharges that resol ved when bupropion was discontinued. This is the first well-documented case of epileptiform discharges induced by bupropion in humans.
