What Can Cause Depression To Worsen Despite Taking Bupropion?

My husband is on Bupropion 150mg XL 1 per day. His depression is worsening and I am wondering if he could jump start any appointment with his doctor and try 2 in the morning to see if that is the way to go rather than him needing another antidepressant?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Your main concern is regarding depression....

Depression is common nowadays in routine life, don't worry...

According to history it seems severe depression...

Depression can occur by stress and deficiency of serotonin in brain... So it's a biological mechanism as well..
For that Hence SSRI group of drug needs to be started... Like fluoxetine...

If depression severe with suicidal tendency then ECT can be given under anesthesia in 4 to 6 cycle

Consult nearby psychiatrist for examination and discuss all these with him

Take care

Hope I have solved your query
