A member asked:

Which anti-depressant gives the most energy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Elizabeth Howell answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Usually bupropion: Or wellbutrin, (bupropion) which can give more energy but also can increase anxiety. Also, if someone is bipolar (manic-depressive) and given an anti-depressant, they may have a mood swing into mania, which is a state of extreme (abnormal) energy.
