Why is Wellbutrin prescribed?
Wellbutrin is prescribed to help relieve major depression. Symptoms include
a severely depressed mood (for 2 weeks or more) and loss of interest or
pleasure in usual activities accompanied by sleep and appetite disturbances,
agitation or lack of energy, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, decreased
sex drive, inability to concentrate, and sometimes, suicidal thoughts or
behavior.
Wellbutrin is thought to work by altering levels of the brain chemicals
norepinephrine and dopamine. It is not chemically related to other
antidepressants such as tricyclics (Elavil), MAO inhibitors (Nardil,
Parnate), or serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (Paxil and Prozac).
