In reply to Do wellbutrin etc., inadvertently raise seratonin?, posted by loolot on October 15, 2003, at 18:23:18
Actually, I believe Wellbutrin has a direct effect on serotonin... or so I've read. It may be similar to the weight-loss drug Meridia in this regard. That is, at lower doses it may be more selective for dopamine and norepinephrine, while exhibiting a bit of selectivity for serotonin at higher doses. In other words, the opposite of Effexor. I've read conflicting studies on Wellbutrin and it's serotonergic effects though, so I can't be sure.
