How is Wellbutrin different from SSRIs?
Wellbutrin and SSRIs (such as Zoloft, Prozac, and Lexapro) both treat depression, but they work differently and have different side effects.
| Wellbutrin (Bupropion) | SSRIs | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Boosts norepinephrine and dopamine | Boosts serotonin |
| Sexual side effects | Rare | Common |
| Weight | Weight neutral, or may cause some weight loss | May cause weight gain |
| Energy and sleep | Can feel energized and may cause trouble sleeping | Can cause tiredness |
| Anxiety | Not approved for anxiety, and may cause jitteriness at first | Several are approved for anxiety |
| Quitting smoking | Approved to help (as Zyban) | Not used for this |
| Main safety concern | Seizures, especially at high doses | Serotonin-related side effects |
Doctors sometimes prescribe both together, adding Wellbutrin to an SSRI to boost the effect or offset sexual side effects. Your doctor can help you decide which option fits you best.
What is Wellbutrin (Bupropion) and what does it treat?
Wellbutrin, also known by its generic name Bupropion, is an atypical antidepressant. It’s classified as a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). It’s sold under the brand names Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL, Aplenzin, Forfivo XL, and Zyban (for smoking cessation).

Bupropion generic · Wellbutrin SR, XLDosages and Strengths of Wellbutrin
It is available in different dosage forms:
- Immediate-release tablets: 75 mg and 100 mg, usually taken three times a day
- Sustained-release tablets (SR): 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg, usually taken twice a day
- Extended-release tablets (XL): 150 mg, 300 mg, and 450 mg, taken once a day in the morning
- Aplenzin (bupropion hydrobromide, extended-release): 174 mg, 348 mg, and 522 mg, taken once a day
- Zyban (sustained-release): 150 mg, for quitting smoking
Swallow SR and XL tablets whole; don’t crush, chew, or split them. Take your doses at least 8 hours apart if you’re on SR, and avoid taking it close to bedtime, since it can cause trouble sleeping. Don’t take more than your doctor prescribes, because higher doses raise the risk of seizures.
