Interesting...I was going to say it surprises me too, but you know what? I bet it is right--after all they are probably also counting in failed trials, and hordes of SSRI defectors due to sexual side effects. (I think of my father--who was put on Wellbutrin, even though I had told him Prozac was more effective for me...we dont talk about things like that, he's my dad! but I bet he was fearful of the sexual side effects of SSRIs).
I can imagine many pdocs first try Wellbutrin, in an effort to avoid the sexual SEs of SSRIs; and there are the people with BP who cannot take SSRIs.
In reading this forum, I almost get a feeling it is added to people's med regimens as a generic "spice" like salt--add a little to boost the whole picture. ONly people like me with anxiety problems are probably best off without them as a clinical group....
