Hi
I've been on Wellbutrin for 2 1/2 months...initially prescribed for depressio, anxiety, and chronic pain. At first I thought it was my imagination, but I thought my anxiety had gotten worse. When I talked to my Pdoc, he said yes, entirely possible!! So, he prescribed Xanax to take as needed. I have since been hearing that this is common, that many of these don't help anxiety at all, and that often, antianxiety drugs are given in addition to the antidepressants. Everyone is different, of course, so the only way to know is to try Wellbutrin...and by the way...others I'd tried caused weight gain, but Wellbutrin hasn't!! Good luck.
