Thanks, everyone, for your (mostly) helpful responses!

I contacted some international hospitals in both Hanoi and HCM, and it turns out Wellbutrin/bupropion isn't registered or licensed here in Vietnam. So I'm calling off the search in this country. Pharmacies do seem to carry paxil and prozac, so I might give one of those a go.

I do, in fact, exercise and agree that this works better, overall, than any pill! However, my schedule is such that I can't exercise as much as I'd like, and I've had great results from a couple of different anti-depressants in the past.

I think one of the things that has triggered this new bout of depression is trying to keep up on drinking outings with other expats... gonna give that a rest as well for awhile!


Exercise EXTREME caution when starting a new antidepressant. Paxil especially. I suggest you save the drinking money and go to Cambodia and get what you know your system tolerates. I've personally known people have suicidal reactions to Paxil.

Try and be happy with what you have and dont blame it all on your brain chemistry. If youre unhappy maybe it's - world recession, finances, pollution, radiation, wars?
