Should I try bupropion (Wellbutrin)? serot effect?

Posted by Franz on April 15, 2012, at 19:46:03

Hello. I am taking 5 mg escitalopram which is what I can tolerate. I feel less anxiety but also low motivation or energy, many times I want to stay in bed or reading instead of working.

Doc gave me modafinil but I take it occasionally in 50 mg dose.

Tianeptine is expensive.

I am thinking on bupropion. Will it be more stimulating? How does it affect serotonin? Supposedly I have low serotonin.

According to Wikipedia:

"Bupropion does not inhibit monoamine oxidase or serotonin reuptake. However, it has been shown to indirectly enhance the firing of serotonergic neurons, via activation of downstream norepinephrine flow."

Maybe it is even good for serotonin transmission?

How about anxiety?

Thanks
