[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 223097, member: 3184"] SW, all I can say is that wellbutrin is an ad, But is not an SSRI. Below is some information that I found at [URL]http://www.crazymeds.us/[/URL]. They have some good info there. It does sound like J may be depresssed, but I certainly do not blame you for being leary of ad's. Among the [I]currently approved antidepressants[/I] Wellbutrin (bupropion hydrochloride) has the least chance of triggering mania in the bipolar, just so long as you're taking a [I]real[/I] mood stabilizer, such as an anticonvulsant or lithium. None of the weight gain associated with SSRIs. Often a very effective antidepressant, as dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake are sometimes the answer for someone. [B]How Wellbutrin Works In Your Brain:[/B] There have been lots of conflicting data published. But I think I finally got it straightened out. According to Dr. Preskorn, Wellbutrin (bupropion hydrochloride) lets your brain soak in norepinephrine and dopamine longer.
