> I'm also curious about how Wellbutrin fits into the antidepressant picture. It seems to be one of the few antidepressants that increase REM sleep (along with trimipramine), and has been called a 'stimulating' antidepressant. It's also used a lot for ADD conditions. I would like to hear any ideas from people about how Wellbutrin is different from other antidepressants?
Wellbutrin doesn't have any sexual side-effects except maybe to increase libido. That's what it did for me when I took 150 mg 2x a day. Because of irritability/anxiety problems, I went down to 100 mg. 2x a day. I almost think I like the 150 mg dose better, I was much less lethargic on it than I am now. Now I can't get through the day without a nap. My pdoc wanted me to take paxil or effexor with it but I'm reluctant to take more than one medication at a time. I worry about my liver function.Mik
