Wellbutrin added to the approved list
Posting this because I have known people in the past who had asked regarding quitting smoking or anxiety/depression. Apparently the FAA had added Wellbutrin to the “case by case” approved list (bringing the total to 5).

And before anyone jumps in, depressed doesn’t mean suicidal or that you are unsafe, but can certainly mean you are miserable.

It’s more of a potentially approvable list than an approved list. Still lots of hoops to jump through and conditions.
