most report that the anxiety or jittery feelings that can accompany WB start-up DO eventually subside over time.
depending on dose and individual sensitivities it can be as little as one week or as long as a month (beyond for some). personally remember it taking a full month last time switched from generic to namebrand WB XL 300mg.....but that's mainly because there was no way to taper up to the 300 mg again after the totally useless generic that didn't work in this situation.
sorry you're feeling additional anxiety along w/ the depression and panic attacks.
have you ever augmented WB before w/ Buspar (buspirone)? it can be mildly antianxiolitic and has been a tremendous support for current med cocktail. personally couldn't tolerate WB w/o the buspirone to keep the energy tamped down a notch.....otherwise would be way too "up" and that's not the goal here.
wishing you much support.
since the gp did rx WB would it be possible to get on Glaxo's free program now?
what can the folks here on board do to help you through this rough time?
