Combinations of medications are often used in neuropsychiatry to enhance treatment efficacy. This 8-week, open-label study tested the combination of bupropion (< or =300 mg) and bromocriptine (< or =7.5 mg) daily in 34 cocaine-dependent (DSM-IIIR) outpatients also receiving weekly individual counseling. The first 18 subjects spent one week at maximum dose; the next 16 spent three weeks. Both groups showed significant reductions in self-reported cocaine use, with no significant change in proportion of urine toxicology tests positive for cocaine. There were no significant differences in outcome between groups. These results suggest that the combination of bupropion and bromocriptine is safe in cocaine addicts, but provide ambiguous evidence of its efficacy.

Treatment of nicotine addiction.

The best available data show smoking to be by far the most important cause of disease and death in our society, contributing to an average of 1000 deaths every day. Although a large majority of current smokers express a desire to quit, the majority of "self-help" attempts to quit are not successful. Further, most smokers indicate never having received advice on cessation from healthcare providers. The combination of pharmacotherapy and behavioral interventions, even on a minimal level, have been shown to be effective in cessation. Such strategies are certainly highly cost-effective, given the enormous costs to society of smoking-related illnesses. Therefore, it is important that all healthcare providers provide at least some form of smoking cessation programs for their patients.

Twenty-four subjects treated with serotonin reuptake inhibitors for a depressive disorder who had new-onset sexual side effects coincident with antidepressant treatment were treated with escalating doses of bupropion SR up to 300 mg daily for 7 weeks. Global response rates were 46% for women and 75% for men. All sexual side effects improved in response to bupropion SR in both men and women with no differential effect on any one sexual side effect. Most of the improvement (more than 50%) occurred within the first 2 weeks and at low dose (100-200 mg/day). When prescribed in an open fashion, bupropion SR appeared to be effective in treating all the major categories of sexual side effects.
