Dear Ms. lybrate-user,
The medications that you have mentioned are both anti-depressants. Bupron is Bupropion and is useful in treatment of depression, anxiety, and to quit smoking.
Fluvator is Fluvoxamine which is a SSRI and used to treat depression, anxiety, OCD.
I hope that answers your question.

Hi lybrate-user,
its always better to heal naturally then to become a dependent on medicine. Medicine is important. But with that lifestyle modification is also important. Listen to your inner voice. If you never heard of it. Then you must do it something. To listen it. And the day you listen your inner voice you will be free from anxiety and depression. It's your home work to find out how.

Bupropion can cause rise in blood pressure, so you need to monitor your bp. In higher doses or in those individuals who have history of fits, it can precipitate fits. Generally duration of treatment during first episode of depression is 6months but it can vary.

Consult with your doctor, if he/she can adjust the dose of bupropion which might improve your anxiety, without the need of taking panazap ls.
