Hi there
wellbutrin can speed you up a bit, i took a mix of wellbutrin and effexor for a year and in my experience wellbutrin revved me a bit, i have been on it so long it is hard to tell for sure anymore and i am also hyper to begin with. but i remember starting it and feeling like i was drinking to much coffee. but at the time i didn't have anxiety problems, i don't think i new what anxiety felt like. effexor had been introdcued for a temporary solution to somthing and after a year i went off it and the anxiety was crazy! it is sort of under control now, but i won't take any drugs for that so i really felt it. i hope this makes sense, i am a bit scatterbrained at times.
if you get an anxious feeling from drinking alot of coffee i might steer clear of this drug. hope this helps> Hi,
