A member asked:

150mg wellbutrin (bupropion) xl can help for depression?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

MAY NEED TO INCREASE: Wellbutrin (bupropion) is a terrific antidepressant and 150 mg may be alright but the dose is on the low side and can certainly be increased. Speak with your physician.
