How To Reduce Depression Other Than Taking Wellbutrin?

Hi, I am very depressed = don t want to get out of bed, eat.... I have been taking Wellbutrin for a long time, but it doesn t seem to be working. Although I am not a big person, I am taking 450 mgs a day. Is there something else I can do or take that doesn t have severe side effects?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In your case, i would suggest for different antidepressant. You can try paroxetine or venlafaxine. These are very good antidepressant as compared to wellbutrin. You can also try life style modification that would help to change your thoughts. Better to consult with your psychiatrist about the medication.

Thanks
