> I'm also curious about how Wellbutrin fits into the antidepressant picture. It seems to be one of the few antidepressants that increase REM sleep (along with trimipramine), and has been called a 'stimulating' antidepressant. It's also used a lot for ADD conditions. I would like to hear any ideas from people about how Wellbutrin is different from other antidepressants?
Wellbutrin doesnt target Serotonin all that much by the liturature on its actions. It targets Epineperine and Dopamine, which, I suppose is why some people become so hypersexual on it.
I found it to be very stimulating, but too much so, with insomnia and irritability a constant companion/ side-effect.
My girlfriend at the time loved it, however ;)
