Wellbutrin causes both anxiety and can cause siezures at high doses. BUT don't worry because 150 or even 300mg has no siezure activty in most of the population. If you took like 600mg XL of Wellbutrin there is a chance. I rerember wellbutrin used to give me "auras" thought my head of electricity and made me very irrtible and on the edge.
Wellbutrin is suppost to act similar to Methylpheidate [Rilitin] but it acts more on norephrinephine rather than dopamine. This is what causes the "anxiety" because depedning on some people who have low levels of noradrenaline it helps them. If you suffer from anxiety and you already take anxiety meds... wellbutrin should be known to irritate anxiety disorders. It's a stimulating antidepressant, its for low motivation/energy and low interst in life. What could be also an option if you stay on Wellbutrin is to try Indral [Propranolol] because it blocks much noradrenaline.
You should check out Effexor because it is sometimes used for anxiety but it also is stimulating too. BUT it doesnt work very much on dopamine. I don't know what would be best you because I am not a doctor these are mirely suggestions.
