You might want to try taking some Neurotin to
help with the jitteriness. A benzo would help
to, but the docs may be less flexible there.
Maybe after a few weeks the jitteriness goes away.
Dropping caffeine intake will help a lot too.
I hate to see you drop WB since it is curing
your depression.Good luck,

Nothing I do seems to combat the anxiety I am experiencing with the wellbutrin. Not even the increase to 20 mg's of zyprexa is helping at this point.
