> I think anxiety and depression are related. I was prescribed SSRI for anxiety.

They often accompany one another. I've had panic attacks in the past, and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I can't claim that bupropion fixes panic attacks proper, and I'm not a doctor, but it does help me with my depression. (I haven't had a panic attack in a long time.)

It's not a silver bullet; you can still find yourself in mentally stuck states, the difference is the physical side of things seems to be 'gated' at the low end so that your spiraling down isn't as deep as it is before. There's still a lot of work to do to recognize + slow that descent, but it is a tool to help with that.

Mirtazapine can help with depression, anxiety and panic, and it isn't an SSRI. There are also newer drugs that are marketed as SMS drugs instead of SSRIs, like vilazodone and vortioxetine. Buspirone binds to 5HT1A directly, instead of inhibiting the serotonin transporter like other drugs.

Wellbutrin and NDRIs typically aren't that great for anxiety, but they can help.
