In reply to can you help me? Wellbutrin XL, posted by spriggy on August 15, 2006, at 0:34:32
Hey Spriggy!
Wellbutrin won't do you any favours in the anxiety department I'm afraid. Certainly when I tried it, I got horrible anxiety, much more than I had previously - I stopped after a couple of weeks because I got hives and I, too, freaked out about side effects.
Its a real pain in the butt, because generally things that help with energy and motivation also tend to exacerbate exisiting anxiety - well things in the conventional field anyhow.
Now, you might want to try some alternative things. I'm currently taking Rhodiola rosea which is pretty good at uplifting mood and giving energy. Or the usual like SJW, or tyrosine perhaps. Anyhow, babblemail me if you want anymore info about these, particulary re: rhodiola.
Of course, there are plenty other conventional antidepressants out there, besides Lex and Wellbutrin.
Kind regards
Meri
BTW what kind of pastor is your husband, I mean what church type thing?
