> That's interesting--are you sure about the source? I was on bupropion for awhile and it was definitely a dopamine drug for me. The experts on babble should be able to weigh in here.
I may have read it on Dr Ken Gillman's psychotropical site, but upon searching all I can find is this:
http://www.psychotropical.com/Antidepressants_Bupropion_Zyban.shtml
He doesn't mention the active metabolite's affinity for the norepinephrine transporter in that article, but he does say it's only a weak DRI but probably has some other unknown dopamine-enhancing effect.
I've read elsewhere that bupropion is also a weaker DRI than sertraline, interestingly.
