In reply to Wellbutrin increasing depression?, posted by Lostone on February 23, 2001, at 20:05:48
> I just started on Wellbutrin, after having too many side affects from zoloft. I have been taking 150mg daily for a week, but now I seem more depressed then I was before the wellbutrin. I had not taken any anti-depressent for about 6 weeks prior to my wellbutrin treatment. Has anyone elese noticed an increase in depression?
Dear LostOne,Wellbutrin can make depression worse.
On several different trials of Wellbutrin, I experienced a moderate exacerbation of my depression. I can think of at least one other person for whom this has also been the case.
I can't think of a single antidepressant that has not made someone's depression worse. We are putting in our bodies powerful chemicals that's properties we don't fully understand into a biological system of which we know so little and understand even less. A drug that helps one person can hurt another. Why?????...
I am not saying that Wellbutrin has made *your* depression worse. I am just responding to your question.
