I have taken wellbutrin, and quit and and tried agian and quit, about 4x's altogether with different sri's to help with energy and motivation. I just can't take wellbutrin. It caused me to be very jittery and rageful and more socially phobic. I do not have this experience with EMSAM. I don't know why but it is true that they work by different systems. Wellbutrin is an NE and DA reuptake inhibitor and EMSAM inhibits monoaminine oxidase which deanimates SE, NE and DA. That would be just one reason they are different. I could not use wellbutrin as a solitary medication even if I didn't have all the nasty stuff and the jury is out on whether EMSAM is going to be enough for the depression. It is helping everything else and the depression too although not as much as I would like. Maybe I "would like" too much..
