In reply to Does wellbutrin sr work for anxiety?, posted by AVR on August 16, 2001, at 4:47:23
Yes, Wellbutrin can cause anxiety or worsen it in the anxiety-prone. Ask Pdoc for a benzo or mood stabilizer to take the edge off the WB. WB is a good mood lifter for depression, but clearly not the first choice for panic/anxiety disorders. Paxil seems to be the SSRI along with Klonopin for that disorder. So....ask your PDoc what the diagnosis is, and verbalize your concerns to him/her. Give the WB about 4 weeks to get the best AD effect, but don't hesitate to ask for the benzo.
