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?
