A member asked:

What to do if i developed a tolerance to paxil (paroxetine) and the doctor changed me to wellbutrin.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow your doctor : Your physician had a reason for recommending the change. Ask him/her for the reason, try the wellbutrin (bupropion) and if it doesn't help in a couple of weeks, ask to try something else.
