Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients With Panic Disorder. American Journal of Psychiatry. 155(5S) Supplement:1-34, May 1998:
c. Bupropion
Bupropion has been found to be effective in the treatment of depression. Proposed mechanisms of action include dopaminergic and noradrenergic agonist effects. Although there have been several small clinical trials using bupropion for patients with panic disorder, there is general consensus that it is not effective in alleviating either the somatic or psychological symptoms of panic attacks. It may have a role as an adjunctive treatment for patients with panic disorder who suffer sexual dysfunction as a side effect of other antidepressant medications, but it nevertheless may be potentially "overenergizing" for this specific patient group [160].
