Perhaps I'm just more familiar with the negative consequences of the one. It's one thing to try a drug that doesn't work. It's another altogether to prescribe something that can cause harm. On Wellbutrin, I was as close to suicide as I've ever been before realizing it was because of the agitation that I didn't feel before starting it.
I'm not saying they shouldn't prescribe it. I'm saying they should prescribe it with extreme caution, and an understanding of the sort of illnesses it may exacerbate. They should be on the lookout for signs of a bad reaction.
They shouldn't hand it out as if it were aspirin, and suggest seeing you in six weeks.
