Case ReportsMultiple seizures after bupropion overdose in a small child.
Unintentional ingestion of bupropion in young children has generally resulted in limited toxicity. We report a case of pediatric bupropion ingestion resulting in multiple seizures. The patient experienced hallucinations, agitation, vomiting, tachycardia and seizures after ingestion of 1050 (48 mg/kg) of extended-release bupropion. The potential for severe toxicity in the setting of pediatric overdose should be recognized.
