hi. I take wellbutrin. I'm on the 2x daily version (SR, its generic now). I take 200 x 2 daily, so 400mgs/day. Its been great for me.
Wellbutrin has a reputation for causing or worsening anxiety, but apparently that's not always what happens. Some people w/ anxiety issues w/ depression actually do well on wellbutrin.
I forget...do you have a benzodiazepine? If so, you could take it as needed for a couple weeks with the wellbutrin (just a thought). For me, wellbutrin made me a bit jittery when the dose was doubled--I went straight from 200mgs to 400mgs/day--but that was minor compared to the benefits.
Hope this helps. Keep us all posted, please.
