In reply to Has Anyone been on Wellbutrin SR Xanax 0.5??????, posted by Lori Mason on March 14, 2001, at 14:18:28
hi Lori
I started out on Wellbutrin SR and switched over to the immediate release version of Wellbutrin because the SR gave me some sideeffects I don't get with the immediate release. Anyway, I really like it. I like the high level of functioning that I have. (I take currently 75mg 3x a day = 225mg/day)
The thing is, I wouldn't say that it helps my anxiety level much. I am trying to find a long term drug so that I don't have to take ativan for anxiety. I have recently added serzone at night, 50 mg. I have had success in the past with serzone significantly effecting my anxiety levels.
The wellbutrin calms slightly, but doesn't do much when hit with quick onset PANIC. I find with the immediate release version that I have to stay on schedule or I become sleepy.Hope this is somewhat helpful. It is tough to get used to the wellbutrin at first, so just know that you need to tough it out a little. There's anxiousness and agitation and sometimes fits of rage. All that levels off between 2-4 weeks, but from what I've read that is very common. For me, it was very worth being patient. At 4 weeks I really started to feel significant help and leveling out of emotions and thoughts.
Terra.
