> 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].Hi Sal.
Buproprion actualy *inhibited* my sexual response as well! I used it for a hellish period of monotherapy to properly test it out. Once it was certain it was not going to be of help in the sex department I kicked the packet for a field goal!
