Today I had my first panic attack in about one year.
I was on 300mg. of Wellbutrin XL, which caused my blood pressure to become substantially elevated so I was prescribed Microzide for my bp. My blood pressure remained high, so my internal med. dr. and I decided to lower the Wellbutrin to 150mg. Now my bp is back to my normal range of 107/69.
Since taking the 150mg of Wellbutrin XL I've began feeling some of the old anxiety, ocd (more c than o), depression an IBS. Today after being on 150mg. for almost 5 weeks I had a panic attack. I've had signs for weeks that this was coming.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this when they lower their dosage or weaned from Wellbutrin?
I can not go back up because of my blood pressure. I can't tolerate SSRI (Zoloft, Celexa, Paxil, Lexapro, Prozac). I have tried Remeron and Zyprexa both once...Ahhh...I hate to think about how they made me feel.
I'm thinking about trying Desipramine...any suggestions for someone with panic disorder which triggers depression???????
I need some positive feedback.
Thanks.
