A member asked:
3rd week on bupropion sr 300mg. depression is getting much worse. is it typical for the medication to make things get worse before it gets better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk with prescriber: There are many reasons why depression can get worse at the start of therapy. This sort of question really is best addressed one on one with the prescriber. I am concerned that more support is indicated particularly now that you state the depression is even worse than when treatment was started! effective care is out there but one has to be assertive..Hard when one is depressed.
