چکیده
We present a case report of bupropion-induced diplopia in a 26-year-old woman who suffered from atypical depression. After four weeks of taking bupropion (225 mg per day) she complained of headaches, blurred vision, and diplopia. No neurological and ophthalmologic abnormal signs were found. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) were normal as well. After tapering off and discontinuing bupropion, her diplopia resolved within a week.
