Wellbutrin is not an SSRI and some people can use this. It actually improves dopamine use.
I have been taking 150mg Welbutrin XL and 30mg Cymbalta each day for 3 years now and find this to be much better than other numerous ADs I have taken for the last 20 or so years since being diagnosed with depression.
