Can Bupropion Be Taken For Depression?

QI have had lithium carbonate more than 25 years. my doctor changed my medicine to Lamotrigine with bupropion hcl last January and my depressive/manic episode started February and it last 4 months. So I changed my medicine to lithium carbonate again but I feel I am still little bit depressed . I also stop to take Bupropion hcl, too. Can I take Bupropion again to reduce my depression?
