Bupropion-Related Exacerbation of Tic Disorder in an Adult: A Case Report

Abstract: Bupropion is antidepressant and a smoking cessation aid medication related to dopaminergic activity. We report for the first time a case of an older adult with a known tic disorder, which was in remission but exacerbated during treatment with bupropion. It has been reported that other dopaminergic compounds such as methylphenidate can exacerbate tic disorder. Clinicians should be aware of this potential adverse effect when prescribing bupropion to adults with tic and other motor disorders.

“…Overall, this chronic neurobehavioral disorder has unclear pathophysiology. One of the important mechanisms is the dysfunction in the dopamine (DA) system, in particular the striatal dopaminergic neurons or striatal dopamine signal system [7][8][9][10][11]. The relationship between dopaminergic neurons and TD has been reported by different teams.…”

“…Given the pathogenesis of TS is not yet clear, common treatment currently (including psychobehavioral therapy and drug therapy) uses symptomatic treatment to alleviate the symptoms, but gen-erally, the treatment cannot fundamentally improve the prognosis of TS. Although the pathophysiology is still obscure, recent studies have shed light on the targets of striatal dopaminergic neurons or striatal dopamine signal system [7][8][9][10][11]. The relationship between dopaminergic neurons and TS has been clearly reported by different teams.…”
