A member asked:

I've noticed that drinking espresso while on wellbutrin (bupropion) helps my mood/energy, but many docs say caffeine is bad for health. should i keep drinking it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably ok: Too much caffeine is bad, but 1-2 cups is ok -- and some docs says it is good.
