[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 19590, member: 1514"] Wellbutrin is not a SSRI, it is a weak blocker of the neuronal uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine; it also inhibits the neuronal re-uptake of dopamine to some extent. It is sometimes used for bipolar 2 patients with ok results if they are stable on a mood stabilizer. How this works is somewhat of a mystery. I was on wellbutrin for a few years with topamax as my mood stabilizer and it worked ok for me. I recently tried to add it back in to help me stop smoking but it was a disaster but Im also now on lamictal and I think the combo was too much for my poor brain. Those neurotransmitters just cant take but so much! [/QUOTE]
