Re: WELLBUTRIN
Donna:
I encourage you to look up Wellbutrin in a PDR (Physician's Desk
Reference) and discuss this concern with your internist. She may have
picked this particular antidepressant because of its connection to the
dopaminergic activity; though newer than many, Wellbutrin is very different
from the tetracyclics (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil) in its chemistry & modes of
action. Effexor is another of the newest antidepressants, with one
additional feature in its modes of action in addition to the three named
above.
