Question

Why isn't bupropion the most frequently prescribed antidepressant?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Because the reasons for choosing a medication to augment an existing regimen might be different from those used in monotherapy, augmentation trials were excluded from the analysis, leaving a sample of 965 patients. Bupropion was rarely prescribed when the presence of comorbid anxiety disorders or symptoms reflecting central nervous system activation influenced antidepressant selection. When the desire to avoid side effects, especially sexual dysfunction and weight gain, were the basis of selection, then bupropion was significantly more often prescribed than other antidepressants
