In answer to your question, Philippa, he did ask me some questions about my and my family's history.
I told him I took Zoloft once for a few weeks several years ago and it took away my appetite and my sex drive, so I lost weight and my dating life wasn't so good. I also felt really "flat" emotionally. My dad has serious depression and is on a cocktail of some AD plus Wellbutrin (WB to counteract side effects of the other one, which I always assumed were sexual, though I quickly cut off my mother when she started to discuss the issue!)
So I think the doc's rationale was perhaps that I might react as my dad does to meds, and that many other ADs might have the same side effects as Zoloft, so WB was a good one to try for me.
