Besides, to be a psychiatrist nowadays is a great honor; it is akin to being a priest back in the days of the witch trials. Much personal protection and security, but at what cost to the suffering of others and the foregoing of proper science in favor of abstract beliefs?

> Thank you but I don't think it's a matter of withdrawl because I haven't taken any of those drugs for over ayear. I think it's more of a wellbutrin issue or wellbutin/topomax issue but I don't know if 1 topomax would have done that. I know it sounds like a panic attack but I have had many and it was more than that... has anyone hasd similar experience??

Nor do I think it is withdrawal... those drugs can do certain things to you (many of which, no one knows exactly why, fancy that). Will the reading of similar experiences make you feel any better? (Worry not of that at the least, for there are many in your position.) Those drugs can affect anxiety, it is a complicated matter. But you are trying to find a solution, so the question is, do you think that you are better off not being on those drugs? It is your body and yours alone; you can truly compare your past senses and feelings and, when compared to the effect of which the drugs have given you, find the differ.In any case, if you feel that the drugs you are taking are having ill-effect on yourself to the extent that it is very bothersome, then you should discuss it with your physician. And it would be wise to learn about these drugs more because of the statements I have made earlier.
I feel as though I am in the dark here when it comes to the true general awareness that most doctors have concerning the psychiatric medicines. Maybe I will call one up soon and ask; I am curious as to why it seems that there are more patients aware of the phenomenon known as "withdrawal" with psychiatric medicines (sans benzodiazepines) than psychiatrists themselves. A dark cave it is truly; paradoxal benzodiazepinic states that have been noted cannot even hold a candle light to this greater of paradoxes.
There is no I in ego.
