My Pharmacology textbook says: "Wellbutrin is a unique antidepressant similar in structure to amphetamine. Like amphetamine, this agent has stimulant properties and suppresses appetite. Antidepressant effects begin in 1-3 weeks and are equivalent to amitriptyline. The mechanism by which depression is relieved is unclear, but may be related to blockade of serotonin and NE uptake."
Just as an after-note, it adds: "At doses greater than 450mg/day, Wellbutrin produces seizures in about 0.4% of patients."
