RESUMO
Presentamos el caso de una mujer que solicita evaluación psiquiátrica por llevar 6 meses consumiendo pemolina en unas dosis de entre 100 y 150 mg/día, encontrándose con dificultades para abandonar el consumo de dicha sustancia. La instauración de 300 mg/día de bupropión resuelve la dependencia que tenía la enferma. Proponemos el uso de antidepresivos como el bupropión para el tratamiento de conductas adictivas sobre estimulantes del sistema nervioso central
