Bupropion: Wellbutrin xl , a form of bupropion , is an antidepressant unlike many in use today. It does not work through the serotonin system the way prozac, (fluoxetine) celexa, or the other ssris. It is derived from a drug used as a diet pill, changed to treat depression. However, some people are sensitive to this chemical and get agitated, irritable and even psychotic, if predisposed.

Get it checked: It is very important to let your prescribing provider know if you are feeling angry or crazy on wellbutrin, (bupropion) especially if accompanied by increased energy level, troubles sleeping and rapid thoughts.
