> My brother has a drinking problem. He also has a serious depression problem. What antidepressant do pdocs prescribe to alcoholics - Wellbutrin?
When I was on Wellbutrin, I noticed it severely limited my desire to drink. I simply couldn't drink more than two or three beers because it seemed to make me feel full or something. No doubt this is the same dopamine effect that also allows Wellbutrin/Zyban to have some efficacy in helping people to quit smoking.Todd
