Hi Mia,
The reason I said it's had it's day is because it has been tried since January at 450mg. And I'm speaking only for this particular patient, not Wellbutrin in general. 450mg at 5+ months is a plenty sufficient trial. Wellbutrin is a miracle for some patients, but not in this particular case.

Dysthymia is a chronic depression. It is like a low grade depression that is always there. Sometimes it is interrupted by a severe depressive bout, in which case it is then called double depression.
