I checked glaxowellcom.com and this is what they had to say about Wellbutrin (bupropion):
...antidepressant of the aminoketone class, chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, SSRI or other known AD agents. It is a relatively weak inhibitor of the neuronal uptake of norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine and does not inhibit MAO. While the mechanism of action is unknown, it is presumed that this action is mediated by noradrenergic and/or dopaminergic mechanisms...
BTW, I had a grand mal seizure within 38 hours of taking Wellbutrin.

> I believe a SNRI is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Another chemical found linked to depression. A SNRI is a tricyclic anti-depressant. Like Wellbutrin.
