Hi, Jim. I have been off and on this combo for years. Currently, I take 300 mg of WB XL and 1 - 1 1/2 mg of klonopin/day. Not many doctors like to prescribe Klonopin. It really helps my anxiety. WB works in about 3 weeks.

My story is that I went to many doctors for anxiety, depression and insomnia. At times I felt like a guinea pig when -trying a new medication each month or so. It seemed that this combo worked the best and I stuck with it for a while.

I quit a few times because I felt "well." I made it 6 months one time until the anxiety was too much.

Wellbutrin gives me the energy to get through the day and I love it. It made me have a short temper for the first 3 weeks, but that got much better after that. The left over temper is calmed vey much by the Klonopin.

I have a strange side effect from the WB, tender breasts for 3 weeks at a time (probably won't hurt the men, like you, Jim)- I see it as a side effect that is a mere inconvenience compared to the depression/anxiety/insomnia that I suffer.

All other meds had horrible side effects that were dangerous. Some say benzos are dangerous. Well, my response to that is- they help ME- that's all I know!

I sure hope in the next few weeks it works for you. I think it is great. Others say it made them manic. To each their own. Good luck.
