I was initially quite excited to see this article in the NY Times, but after I read it, I just felt like what an incompetent fool that doctor is. Can you imagine a psychiatrist who is so ignorant about the meds she routinely dispenses? I mean Wellbutrin isn't exactly uncommon. I am really surprised by this article. To read it you would think the woman has no experience or insight into her field. She might as well be a businessman or a bus driver for all the insight and knowledge she seems to bring to the table. And I don't agree with her conclusion that her reaction was "antidepressant toxicity". It seems to me that panic attacks and high levels of anxiety are pretty common side effects of bupropion, not like she was allergic to it or something. I was expecting something enlightening, but I was disappointed.
