1 yes it is because thes pts throw up so may have an elctrolyte abnormality---> seizures
2 pts Bupropion should have their bl pr monitoredso i think it will cause hypert crises with MAOIs
3 same (bupropion lowers the seizure threshold)
4 ADHD + Dep (drug of choice)

Well said Cirus. Let me add a few points.
1. Bupriopion causes anorexia & hence weight loss. So if anyone comes with weight gain with anti depressants, bupriopion is the DOC. also smoking cessation normally causes upto 5 Lb of weight gain & Bupriopion helps here.
& to answer your 5 th querry, yes, bupropion is used for both smoking cesation as well as As Depression.
