A member asked:

I need advice on what's your experience with prescribing patients with bupropion for anxiety or depression?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Bupropion: In my experience, bupropion is a fine antidepressant -- but does little to nothing for symptoms of anxiety. It does not cause the sexual side effects that ssri antidepressants often do. What specific advice or information are you seeking?
