Hello everyone. Yu might seen have my other questions also in this app. I am diagnosed case of atypical depression. Had so many negative views abt anti depressants. Thanks to all docs out there who have answered my each question and helped me to develop good impression about antidepressants. Now I am starting with tab. bupropion 150 mg daily. So have a few questions in my mind. Till how many days I have to continue this therapy if it worked fine for me? Any adverse side effects on long term use?

if bupropion works well for you then you might have to assess how well it has worked for you. This is the difference between response and remission. If you are completely not free from depressive symptoms one can usually go up higher on the dose of bupropion to 450 mg, however I strongly suggest that you consult your psychiatrist. There are usually no long term adverse effect of this medication documented in literature. I hope this helps.
