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 is chosen in preference over other antidepressants because its use is less likely to cause weight gain or sexual dysfunction. However, it does carry a risk of inducing seizures; this seizure risk forced the drug off the market for a short time and the recommended dosage was suitably reduced.
