A member asked:
How often is wellbutrin (bupropion) used for treating body dysmorphic disorder, has it been shown to be effective?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not often: Wellbutrin (bupropion) would be unlikely to directly improve the core problem of body dysmorphic disorder. It may, however, be used to treat co-occurring conditions such as depression. Wellbutrin (bupropion) should be used with caution in this population, as it is contraindicated in patients with bulimia nervosa, a condition that occurs frequently alongside body dysmorphic disorder.
