Is replacing Paxil with Wellbutrin recommended?
The only way you can do this is legally ... through a doctor, so I am under the understanding that your GP has made the switch for you. I am also happy to hear that you have switched from Paxil. In Canada Paxil is banned from 18 and under. There are other safer drugs, but all drugs such as these must be monitored by a physician. If this is what you GP recommended then there is no reason you should have a problem. If you have serveral questions because you aren't feeling all that well please see your GP and have the list of questions written down.

What type of drugs are used to relieve depression?
The vast majority of drugs used to treat depression are in the SSRI and SNRI antidepressant classes (with some TCAs - tricyclic antidepressants) prescribed, as well. Very few MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) are prescribed anymore. SSRIs are specific serotonin reuptake inhibitors (allowing your own body's serotonin to be utilized more efficiently), and include Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, Zoloft, and Prozac (with Prozac having been the first SSRI marketed - in 1987). SNRIs are serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (Effexor, Cymbalta, Pristiq)
