Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No you cannot. Lorazepam is not indicated for maintenance therapy for long time because of long half life and it's side effects. Amytriptilline and Bupropion are different classes of drugs so you cannot substitute one for the other.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
