I guess I should clarify, I tweaked with my norepi and dopamine. I used Wellbutrin. Not a really good choice, but it was the last of the AD's I was willing to try. At the time, there was still a thought that this was depression based, so that was the thought on treatment. I have now learned that anxiety as a stand alone diagnosis is VERY under played and under acknowledged. The first week of WB was alright. The subsequent 7 weeks were torture. My anxiety and agoraphobia had me a housebound, trembling, heart pounding, insomnia riddened, anorexic fool. I had to take a long LOA from work and I was basically shut down completely from living any shape of a life. I was determined to try and give it time. After 2 months, I could no longer do it. I felt much better after coming off but I was not "well". I then proceeded to Klonopin only (I did not use any benzo's with AD's, looking back, that wasn't a good thing) and it was a new world for me.
