A member asked:

Will my doc be fine if i ask him to switch me from prozac to wellbutrin (bupropion) or will he be hesitant? i think it might help more with school.

Probably: Your doctor is likely to be responsive to your requests for a change but sometimes there are reasons why a certain medication or approach is not taken. For example, wellbutrin (bupropion) should not be used by those at risk for seizures as it lowers the seizure threshold. Never fear discussing anything with your doctor.
