Conclusion: In schizophrenic patients treated with bupropion in addition to antipsychotics, the risk for bupropion-induced psychoses seems negligible. The efficacy of a combined dopamine and norepinephrine agonist in schizophrenia is biologically plausible. Further trials involving bupropion should integrate neurobiological methods and focus on negative symptoms and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.

Conclusion: Current findings should be interpreted with caution because of the very limited database. Bupropion should be considered for pharmacological management of childhood and adolescent ADHD, but more randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes are warranted. There is also some evidence of its benefits in children with comorbid ADHD and conduct, substance use, or depressive disorders.
