BUT Wellbutrin is also known to increase anxiety in certain patients. It's not an SSRI medication like most anti-depressants prescribed today (SSRIs are serotonin related) such as Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft and other popular SSRIs. Wellbutrin deals with dopamine receptors in our brain.
Wellbutrin interferes with the reuptake of neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, causing an increase in their availability in the brain. The increased amount of neurotransmitter in the brain corrects the imbalance and reduces depression symptoms.
