Antidepressant: Bupropion (brand name wellbutrin) acts uniquely on dopamine, unlike other antidepressants. It is not an anti-anxiety med, and won't help anxiety directly. Prescribed in the form of time-release generic tablets once or twice daily, it often relieves depressive symptoms in 2 or 3 weeks. It's also used to help quit smoking (brand name zyban), as it decreases cravings.
