Wellbutrin increased my anxiety greatly, and had various other intolerable side effects that didn't disappear, even after two months of use. The intensity of side effects seemed directly proportional to the dose, and they stopped as soon as I discontinued the drug. The GP who prescribed it said that my reaction must be imaginary (since WB "can't" cause side effects). However, the psychiatrist I saw subsequently wasn't at all surprised, said that he's extremely cautious in prescribing WB for people with anxiety disorders, and added that it's about the last thing he'd prescribe for me. So, we explored other options, which have worked out very well.
