Dextromethorphan is already a drug of abuse. Bupropion is , an existing SSRI. It is weird timing considering the well-known problems with ssris and the debunking of the serotonin theory. It adds yet another Arsenal in the US for big Pharmaceutical profits and patient dangers.

Any patients with depression should be very careful when considering this new drug. If you are a provider get with the reality that a new era of understanding is upon us that these medications do great harm. What is the advantage of adding another? Profit. #a11y #prescribedharm
