Does Bupropion Increase Anxiety?: A Naturalistic Study Over 12 Weeks.
Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology 2023 March
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND: There has long been a clinical belief that bupropion exacerbates anxiety. The purpose of the current retrospective study is to compare anxiety severity over time in those prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) versus bupropion.
METHODS/PROCEDURES: Archival data (N = 8457) from patients receiving psychiatric care from a national tele-mental health company were used. Propensity matching was used to create SSRI and bupropion groups using 17 covariates. These samples were then compared using repeated measures analysis of variance on Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale 7 scores at start of treatment, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks.
FINDINGS/RESULTS: The SSRI and bupropion groups were significantly different across a number of variables. In the entire sample, the bupropion group had significantly greater anxiety levels. However, for propensity-matched comparisons, there were no significant interactions between group and time (ie, groups did not differ and improved comparably over time).
IMPLICATIONS/CONCLUSIONS: Using propensity matching, there were no differences in anxiety outcome between those prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor versus bupropion across 12 weeks of treatment.
