What Are The Side Effects Of Wellbutrin Or Cipralex?
hello, i am doing some research on what drug may benefit me the best. Wellbutrin or cipralex. i am a paramedic fire captain working shift work and am concerned about some of the fatigue issues as well as concentration side effects listed for these drugs. any recommendations? i will be seeing my family physician for help with depression with in the next couple of weeks. Thanks, Bill
Well both wellbutin and cipralex are good anti depressants and relatively safe in terms of side effects but wellbutrin or better will be wellbutrin xl ( long acting evrsion fo wellbutrin) is the most safe anti depressant out of all its peers and it has good affect on depression as well. It does not cause sexual side effects like delayed ejaculation and erection problem and does not cause weight gain , these side effects being caused by cipralex.
Wellbutrin l also has better affect on fatigue and boosts one's energy levels and increases concentration and alertness.
So wellbutrin xl has an edge over cipralex in terms of safety and side effects but it is slightly less effective as compared to cipralex against depression, so wellbutrin xl is a better choice for you.
I hope this helps.
Regards
