Good for some: There are many types,of antidepressants and Wellbutrin (bupropion) is one of,them. It is a good antidepressant if it helps you. It is only associated with seizures in higher doses in people who have had eating disorders. It is especially useful because it does not have a sexual side effect profile. People often have to try. Ore,than one antidepressants t to figure out which one works. Don't give up !
