Abstract
Bupropion is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor that is commonly used as an antidepressant and for smoking cessation. Bupropion overdose can lead to serious side effects which include seizures, status epilepticus, and fatal arrhythmias. Managing bupropion toxicity is challenging as there is no effective antidote and treatment is largely supportive. In this article, we present a case of bupropion toxicity causing profound cardiogenic shock which was treated successfully with mechanical circulatory support.
