> I understand what you're feeling like, lovemypitbulls. I've had a similar experience on Wellbutrin in conjunction with something I can't remember. Fortunately, it wore off pretty quickly, and I hope it does for you, too.

Maybe I don't know enough about the med, but I thought the starting dose is usually around 50mg. Starting at that high a dosage after recently going to 300mg/day of Wellbutrin and topping it off with 4mg/day of Xanax may be a little over-the-top. ;)

> Yes. The only drug I have been taking is xanax 1 mg every 4 hrs as needed( which usually I try to take only 2 a day)That's all I have been taking for over a year. I just started taking wellbutrin at 150mg morning and night and i was on my 4th or 5th day. He had just prescribed this for me. The topomax, i was on for a couple years and took myself off , again, over a year ago and my last dosage was 800mg/day which was slowly worked up to. (this was also prescribed for migraines)I , for some reason decided Wed. night to take 300 mg of topomax. the first time in over a year. that was it and i happened to have those problems. i don't know if it had something to do with it or not. or was it the "common side effect of panic attacks " from the wellbutrin, i guess i won't know, but i have recovered and won't do that again. thanks for your understanding!
