Clinical Presentations of Bupropion Prescription Drug Misuse: A Systematic Review

Among most prescribers, bupropion is considered a substance of low misuse potential, with some studies showing lesser misuse potential than caffeine. However, several case reports exist of recreational bupropion misuse and diversion. This podcast, a discussion by authors of their bupropion systematic review, reports that snorting and intravenous injection of bupropion occur almost exclusively in patients with a substance use disorder history, with a preponderance of patients with stimulant use disorder or multiple substance use disorders. Users who divert bupropion from prescribed use describe a brief cocaine-like high of approximately 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The systematic review highlights the bupropion misuse potential in certain patient populations and serves to increase awareness among clinicians of unhealthy results of abuse. Additional patient screening, monitoring and follow-up, surveillance, and further research are needed to investigate and prevent bupropion misuse in at-risk patient populations.   Sahil Munjal, MD, moderates a discussion conducted with his systematic review co-authors Greg Noe, BS, Kaushal Shah, MD, MPH, and Samantha Ongchuan, MD, on bupropion misuse. The article appears in the May/June 2024 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. The authors are from Wake Forest University School of Medicine, the Department of Psychiatry at Atrium Wake Forest Baptist Health, and the Department of Psychiatry at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC.

Episode 157: Urine TestingThis episode includes the pitfalls of urine tests, how to detect adulterated urine, and more.  Written by Janelli Mendoza, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD. Comments by Carol Avila, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction: Urine drug screenings are valuable tools used every day by physicians to monitor illicit substance use, as well as proper use or misuse of prescription drugs. However, studies suggest that physicians using “clinical judgment” on who and when to test is often wrong and confounded by implicit racial bias. The implications of this are an inappropriate discontinuation of treatment.For example, a study by Gaither, Gordon, and Crystal et. al found that compared to white patients, black patients were 10% more likely to undergo urine drug screening. In addition, they were 2-3 times more likely to have long-term opioid medication abruptly discontinued as a result of a UTOX positive for marijuana.False positive urine tests:Before getting into the current guidelines, let's discuss the interpretation of Urine Drug Screenings. It's important to be aware of prescription drugs that may cause false positives:· Bupropion, labetalol, pseudoephedrine, trazodone → Amphetamines· HIV antivirals, sertraline → Benzodiazepines· HIV antivirals, NSAIDs, PPI's → Cannabinoids· Diphenhydramine, Naloxone, Quetiapine, Quinolones, Verapamil → Opioids· Dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, ibuprofen, tramadol, venlafaxine → PhencyclidineTampering of urine: Other factors to consider are the tampering of collected urine. The tampering of collected urine may include diluting the urine, or adding other chemicals and substances. Laboratory results that should prompt consideration of adulteration are: Creatinine

Episode 107: Weight Gain Meds. Medications that cause weight gain are also called weight positive medications. Sapna, Danish, and Dr. Arreaza mention some of those medications in this episode. Introduction: Some meds cause weight gainBy Hector Arreaza, MD.You will see patients who keep gaining weight regardless of their sincere efforts to eat better and exercise. Some people experience serious difficulties to lose weight. If you want to know how frustrating it can be, imagine your doctor telling you to add one more inch to your height when you are 35 years old. For some people, losing weight is just as hard. One important step you can take to help your patients lose weight is performing a detailed medication reconciliation. Review the medication list, and you may find some meds that are proven to cause weight gain. Today we will discuss some of those medications, but it takes practice to learn all of them. I hope this episode is helpful for you. This is the Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only.

Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD. S: Medications associated with weight gain: See Table 1.1 for medications associated with weight gain and alternatives. Antipsychotic agents:A: Ziprasidone is an antipsychotic medicine that causes the least amount of weight gain.Antidepressants:There are many antidepressants which are associated with weight gain, including the tricyclics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and some of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Tricyclic antidepressants, in particular amitriptyline, clomipramine, doxepin, and imipramine, are associated with significant weight gain.Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, paroxetine exhibited the greatest weight gain in its class. Whereas fluoxetine exhibited little to no weight gain and remains weight neutral in the class. Amongst the monoamine oxidase inhibitors, phenelzine had the greatest weight gain.  Antiepileptics/Antiseizure: Amongst the antiepileptic drugs used to treat seizures, neuropathic pain, or other psychiatric conditions,  valproate, carbamazepine, and gabapentin are associated with weight gain. Gabapentin is virtually used by all our diabetic patients. Antihypertensive agents: Beta BlockersBeta receptors, specifically beta-2 receptors, stimulate the release of insulin. Thus, patients on beta blockers may experience weight gain as a side effect. There are two beta blockers that cause the least amount of weight gain: Carvedilol (Coreg) and nebivolol (Bystolic). Hypoglycemic medications: Although intended to regulate blood sugar levels, several anti-diabetic medications are associated with weight gain, specifically sulfonylureas, Actos, and insulin. As mentioned earlier, metformin as well as GLP-1 agonists are associated with weight loss. Metformin can be considered weight neutral. Steroids: Steroid hormones such as corticosteroids or progestational steroids are associated with weight gain. Steroids may increase levels of cortisol, one of the end pathways in steroidogenesis. Cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, functions by increasing insulin resistance, and decreasing glucose utilization, thus causing weight gain.  Antihistamine Medications: Diphenhydramine (Benadryl): commonly used for allergies…or how my mom used it, puts you to sleep right before a flight. However, a side effect of using this medication includes weight gain.Cyproheptadine: an antihistamine, used for antidote to serotonin syndrome and migraines, has an appetite stimulant effect causing weight gain. It can be used off-label as an appetite stimulant in children who do not gain weight. Fun Fact: Although it is a common belief that combined oral contraceptives cause weight gain, data suggest that significant weight gain is not a common side effect of combined oral contraceptives. A good practice: Medication reconciliation: Weight positive, weight neutral, or weight negative. Weight positive: Deprescribe or change for another medication if possible. Weight neutral and weight negative: Keep them. Don't be afraid to prescribe anti-obesity meds. We should learn about them, become familiar with side effects, contraindications, dosing, and more, and prescribe them appropriately as part of a weight loss program. Also, don't forget that these medications are used in conjunction with a proper diet.        CategoryDrug ClassWeight GainAlternatives Psychiatric agentsAntipsychoticsClozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, haloperidol, perphenazineZiprasidone, aripiprazoleAntidepressants/mood stabilizers: tricyclic antidepressantsAmitriptyline, doxepin, imipramine, nortriptyline, trimipramine, mirtazapine Bupropion, nefazodone, fluoxetine (short term), sertraline (

Episode 47: Hearing Carotid Lung.  Dr Civelli explains the updates on screening for lung cancer, hearing loss and carotid artery stenosis; Kafiya explains the use of bupropion and naltrexone in methamphetamine abuse, question of the month pneumonia.Introduction: Methamphetamine useBy Kafiya Arte, MS4, and Ariana Lundquist, MD.Today is April 12, 2021.Bakersfield, California, has a methamphetamine (meth) epidemic currently ravaging this area. We as health care workers believe we can spot somebody addicted to meth from a mile away by their characteristic “older-than-stated-age” appearance and obvious “meth mouth”. However, the actual scope of the epidemic is much larger. It’s not just people who are experiencing homelessness that are addicted to, and dying from, meth.  I saw while volunteering at a needle exchange at Weill Park, people getting out of nice-looking cars wearing clean, pressed clothes with sharps containers full of used needles ready to exchange. One man even had a teacup poodle in tow. It’s clear that meth can affect anybody.  Between May 10 and June 10, 2014, 31.8% of randomly selected patients in the ED of Kern Medical admitted to having used methamphetamine at least once in their life. It’s not just the individual who addicted to meth who is affected. 36.1% of children removed from their home by child protective services in Kern County during the month of May 2014 were cases that involved methamphetamine[1]. Meth accounted for nearly 75% of all drugs seized by the Bakersfield Police Department[2]. Statewide, meth kills more Californians than any single opioid alone[3]. Amphetamine overdose deaths have increased 212% from 777 in 2012 to 2,427 in 2018 in California. In 2020, Kern County had more than double the rate of deaths related to overdose of psychostimulants, of which meth was the dominant drug, compared to the state of California (20.48/100k residents versus 8.21/100k residents, respectively)[3]. This devastating problem, unfortunately, does not have a currently FDA-approved drug to treat it. A promising study called Accelerated Development of Additive Treatment for Methamphetamine Disorder (ADAPT-2), assessed the efficacy of combined bupropion and naltrexone for the treatment of meth use disorder. Bupropion decreases the dysphoria of meth withdrawal that drives continued use; while naltrexone decreases cravings, therefore preventing relapse, as it does with alcohol use disorder.  A total of 403 participants with nearly daily meth use were included in the two-stage randomized, double blind trial conducted at 8 different sites from May 23, 2017 to July 25, 2019. The efficacy of extended-release injectable naltrexone (380 mg every 3 weeks) combined with once-daily oral extended-release bupropion (450 mg) was evaluated, as compared to placebo.  The results of the study showed a 13.6% response rate in the naltrexone-bupropion group and only 2.5% response with placebo. A response was defined as at least three meth negative urine samples out of four samples obtained at the end of each of the two stages.  The trial concluded that although the response rate among participants that received naltrexone and bupropion was low, it was higher than that among participants who received placebo. Although the ADAPT-2 trial did not provide any recommendations that can be adapted to clinical practice, it serves as a starting point for further research of the additive or synergistic effects of bupropion and naltrexone in the treatment of meth use disorder.  Hopefully, it will also serve as a catalyst for more pioneering research regarding the legitimization of meth use disorder as a treatable disease with major medical, psychiatric, socioeconomic and legal consequences. Clinicians should stay up to date with research regarding meth use disorder such as ADAPT-2, as it is our duty to understand the health crises that affect our patients on a daily basis, and the tools we can use to treat them.This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California.

He comes to an urgent care clinic for acute onset of fever (102 F), cough, and shortness of breath which has progressively worsened over the last 3 days. He does NOT smoke, but uses recreational marijuana once a month, and drinks 1-2 beers a week. He goes to the doctor once a year for check-ups. He takes benazepril 10 mg daily for his hypertension. He does not believe in vaccines and his last shot was a tetanus shot 5 years ago. No surgical history. He retired as an accountant 5 years ago. Vital signs are normal except for tachycardia of 110 (his baseline is 85) and temperature of 101.5 F (38.6 C). He has bibasilar crackles on auscultation. You perform labs in clinic and he has a white count of 13.5, and a chest x-ray shows a right lower lobe consolidation. He has a negative rapid COVID-19 test. What are your top 3 differential diagnoses and what is the acute management of this patient’s condition?Let’s repeat the question: What are your top 3 differential diagnoses and what is the acute management of a 69-year-old male, non-smoker, who has fever, cough, shortness of breath, tachycardia, bibasilar crackles, elevated WBCs, a right lower lobe consolidation, and a negative rapid COVID-19 test?Send us your answer before May 7, 2021, to rbresidency@clinicasierravista.org and the best answer will win a prize!     Hearing Carotid LungBy Valerie Civelli, MD, and Ariana Lundquist, MDScreening for hearing loss in older adultsHearing loss definition: To answer this, let’s first talk Hertz and Decibels. Many studies and guidelines define mild hearing loss as the inability to hear frequencies associated with speech processing under 25 dB and moderate hearing loss as the inability to hear those frequencies under 40 dB[5].  The most important range for speech processing is typically 500 to 4000 Hz. To check hearing, we often use pure-tone audiometry, which is the most standard quantitative measurement; however, this is not a perfect test. There is often discordance between objectively measured deficits and subjective perceptions of hearing problems. In one study, 1 in 5 persons who reported hearing loss had a normal hearing test result, while 6% of those with severe hearing loss detected on audiometry did not report feeling that they had hearing loss.[6]  I wonder if their significant other would agree with the 6% who self-reported no hearing loss but failed the hearing test?  That would be a great study! Risk factors for hearing loss: The #1 risk factor for hearing loss is increasing age. Hearing loss increases with age after 50 attributable to normal degeneration of hair cells in the ear.  This leads to the most common cause of hearing loss in older adults: Presbycusis.  Presbycusis is your diagnosis for patients with gradual, worsening of perceived high-frequency tones. Insufficient evidence for screening: If the patient reports hearing loss, you should order a hearing test. However, on March 23, 2021, for asymptomatic adults 50 years or older, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) published a statement that re-confirmed the 2012 recommendations. That is, current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for hearing loss in older adults without symptoms. This statement aligns with the AAFP and is referenced in their practice guidelines. This recommendation applies to asymptomatic older adults (age >50 years) who have not noticed any issues with their hearing. It excludes adults with conductive hearing loss, congenital hearing loss, sudden hearing loss, or hearing loss caused by recent noise exposure, or those reporting signs and symptoms of hearing loss.Screening for Carotid Artery StenosisDo not screen: For the general adult population without symptoms of carotid artery stenosis, do not screen. This is a Grade D recommendation for all adults without a history of stroke or neurologic signs or symptoms of a transient ischemic attack. This is a re-endorsement statement made in Feb of this year, 2021, recommitting to 2014 statements.  The evidence continues to show that the harms of screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis outweigh the benefits. The USPSTF has made other recommendations related to stroke prevention and cardiovascular health. These include: Screening for high blood pressure in adultsScreening for abdominal aortic aneurysmInterventions for tobacco smoking cessation in adults, including pregnant personsInterventions to promote a healthy diet and physical activity for the prevention of cardiovascular disease:In adults with cardiovascular risk factorsIn adults without known cardiovascular risk factorsAspirin use to prevent cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancerStatin use for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adultsLung Cancer Screening Grade B recommendation: On March 9, 2021, there are updated Grade B recommendations by the USPSTF.  For patients 50-80 years old, with a 20 pack-year history of smoking and still smoke or quit within 15 years, annual screening with low dose CT is now recommended.Stop screening when a person has not smoked for 15 year, or has a condition that substantially limits life expectancy or limits their ability to undergo curative lung surgeryThe USPSTF modified guidelines so we are screening earlier and with lower pack years.  It used to be recommended to do low dose Chest CT at age 55-80, but it’s now at 50-80.  Also, pack-years was 30 but it’s now at 20 pack-years that we should screen for lung cancer.  So, screen sooner at 50, and at lower threshold of 20. Screen for lung cancer in male and female patients.Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 47 “Hearing Carotid Lung”. Dr Civelli gave us an update on USPSTF screening in asymptomatic adults. For hearing loss, there is insufficient evidence to give a recommendation. For carotid artery stenosis, there is a grade D, meaning do not screen. And for lung cancer screening, it is a grade B recommendations, meaning screen your patients. Don’t forget to order a low dose CT of chest in patients of ANY sex, OLDER than 50 years, WITH a 20 pack/year smoking history, and currently smoking or quit less than 15 years ago. That’s a mouthful, but once you start following the guideline, it gets easier to recall.Remember, even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) was first acknowledged in the mid-1980s and affects between 2% and 10% of Americans every year. Nearly three-fourths of those affected by SAD are women SAD is thought to be caused by problematic circadian rhythms and imbalances in hormones and neurotransmitters, including serotonin and melatonin, and can result in annually persistent and potentially debilitating symptoms Symptoms of SAD Hypersomnia Fatigue Increase appetite and weight gain Difficulty waking in the morning Feeling depressed or sad much of the day Loss of interest Sluggishness Feelings of hopeless/worthlessness Circadian Rhythms The body has a master circadian clock that resides in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCM)within the hypothalamus and coordinates rhythms throughout the brain and other systems of the body. The SCM is stays in tune with what's happening outside the body by tracking light cues through the retina. So circadian rhythms are generated by feedback loops that cycle every 24 hours maintaining the balance of hormones and systems in the body. The brain uses 20% of the energy for the entire body, so it needs to do so in an efficient manner. And circadian rhythms in the brain are incredibly important for maximizing energy efficiency and health of the neurons. When we're awake, neurons are constantly firing in response to stimuli. And all of that activity creates the buildup of something called reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other by-products. And during sleep, antioxidants remove excess ROS and other byproducts. Disruptions to the timing and duration of sleep and wake will disrupt these processes. In fact, a recent study found that even one night of sleep deprivation can result in an accumulation amyloid-beta (one of the proteins that accumulates in the brain in Alzheimer's disease). So, efficient brain function depends on consistent sleep-wake timing. Patients suffering from SAD often present with a phase-delayed circadian system, meaning that they fall asleep too late in the evening and awaken too early. This alters the body's natural rhythm of hormone secretion affecting mood and energy levels. If patients with winter depression have phase delayed circadian rhythms then adjusting the sleep phase should help regulate the circadian rhythm and improve mood and brain function. Treatment Light Therapy: One to two hours of 10,000 LUX light every morning may cause a corrective phase advance. However, it is important to speak with a specialist who can help you understand the best timing and intensity of light therapy. Side effects include mild visual complaints, nausea, dizziness, headaches, tired eyes, agitation, sleep disturbance, and sometimes hypomania. Melatonin: Research has shown mixed results for the effectiveness of melatonin in helping to correct imbalances in circadian rythm Bupropion (i.e., Wellbutrin XR): Research has suggested that Bupropion may help relieve the symptoms of SAD in some patients Supplements such as St. John's Wort, Kava, Ginko Biloba, and Tryptophan have not been extensively studied for treatment of SAD, though some individuals have reported positive results for the treatment of SAD.

For Tobacco-Dependent Adults in Whom Treatment Is Being InitiatedShould Treatment Be Started with Varenicline or a Nicotine Patch? 40 more per 1,000 patients; Compared with a nicotine patch, varenicline increased long-term abstinence, measured at 6-month follow-up (RR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.32; ARR, 40 more per 1,000 patients;) For Tobacco-Dependent Adults in Whom Treatment Is Being Initiated Should Treatment Be Started With Varenicline or Bupropion? 77 more per 1,000 patients taking Varenicline increased tobacco abstinence at 6-month follow-up compared with bupropion (RR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.19 to 1.42; ARR, 77 more per 1,000 patients;) who andrew so just varenicline by itself?? thats it?? should Treatment Be Started with Varenicline plus Nicotine-Replacement Therapy or Varenicline Alone? 105 more per 1,000 patients; taking Varenicline plus a nicotine patch significantly increased abstinence compared with varenicline alone, (RR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.72; ARR, 105 more per 1,000 patients; 95% CI, 21 more to 211 more; high certainty in the estimated effects) they mention ecigs vs varenicline and admit we dont have direct evidence but indirect evidence says varenicline is better but they admit because we dont have good evidence and all we have is indirect evidence then base on that go with varenicline but it is given a conditional rec with very low certainty of evidence. In Tobacco-Dependent Adults Who Are Not Ready to Discontinue Tobacco Use, Should Clinicians Begin Treatment with the Optimal Controller or Wait Until They Are Ready to Stop Tobacco Use? to me this was huge maybe one of the biggest recommendation because I always wait till the person is ready to stop but in studies where people could stop or were not interested in stopping those started on varenicline were more like to stop smoking. my mind was blown!! and the evidence on this gives a strong recommendation, with moderate certainty in the estimated effects. infact 173 more per 1,000 smokers were able to stop smoking at 6 months after starting varenicline despite the provider not waiting for affirmation of readiness (RR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.70 to 2.35; ARR, 173 more per 1,000 patients; 95% CI, 121 more to 234 more; high certainty in the estimated effects). Tobacco-Dependent Adults with Comorbid Psychiatric Conditions, Including Substance-Use Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, and/or Bipolar Disorder, for Whom Treatment Is Being Initiated, Should Clinicians Start with the Optimal Controller Identified for Patients without Psychiatric Conditions or Use a Nicotine Patch? “boxed warning regarding possible neuropsychiatric adverse events for both varenicline and bupropion. These concerns stemmed from case reports and postmarketing surveillance, as no RCTs found evidence for these events and early observations suggested no significant increase in neuropsychiatric adverse events with pharmacotherapy compared with placebo, even among patients with preexisting mental illness.” to summarize --with moderate certainty compared with nicotine patches, varenicline 1) may result in a large benefit for nicotine abstinence and 2) compared with nicotine patches, varenicline would likely result in little to no difference in SAEs and last but not least- if you are given the choice to write a script for an Extended-Duration (>12 wk) or Standard-Duration (6–12 wk) then with a strong recommendation and moderate certainty in the estimated effects you should always chose the longer- go with 12 weeks!

We apologize to our listeners for our show being late this week. We are coming to you directly from the Exploring Psychedelics Conference at Southern Oregon University, and preparations and travel have slowed down the release of this week's episode. On Today's Episode of the podcast, Jonathan talks with Jon Bridge. Jon is  a 34 year old father of two. from Canada. The two met through a Facebook Group, The Terence McKenna Experience, thanks to Jon's willingness to share his inspiring story of hope and healing. Jonathan felt called to respond almost immediately after the posting appeared on his feed, and the two connected to share Jon's story. Jon's experience of the failure of standard  psychiatricpharmaceutical drugs  and his journey back to health with the help of psilocybin mushrooms and a clear understanding that the conditions that ailed him for years did not have to be permanent, or simply "managed" with ill-understood collections of molecules. Jon [I was on] daily doses of high strength, high dose pharmaceutical garbage. I was supposed to be a customer for life. Although I have no credentials behind my name I have a story of healing and hope. I had been a long time sufferer of mental illness but thanks to psychedelic medicines I have discovered a new, better self. My journey into psychedelic healing has just begun and I hope to be able to inspire someone to help themselves. Jon's "before" picture, on the let, is dated March 20, 2010, exactly 6 years before the date of his Facebook post..Looking in the eyes, it feels possible to almost see the changed interior landscape behind them. This is a story that our listeners will not want to miss. (None of Jon or Jonathan's remarks should be interpreted as psychiatric advice. Neither is a licensed therapist. Changes in medicines should be done with the partnership of a qualified professional.)
