Med adjustment: I am going to suppose you had a full evaluation of your depressive disorder or target symptoms, and that Wellbutrin (bupropion) XL was the first choice. Usually, when you do not respond one can increase the dose to 300 mg XL. Depending on your age and vulnerability to side effects, you could also titrate this medication with immediate release WBT gradually to an optimal dosage.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

WELLBUTRIN (bupropion) : Wellbutrin (bupropion) can be very effective. Follow up with your doctor to titrate the dose and monitor your response. You need an exam and labs. Also discuss referral for therapy.if symptoms persist Meds to boost serotonin like Lexapro may be of benefit .
