> I was taking Wellbutrin for depression and Xanax for anxiety for the past year and a half, and felt pretty good on it. I tried several SSRIs over the past 10 years with not as much success as Wellbutrin. Then I had the bright idea to stop the Wellbutrin, thinking I didn't need it any more. I felt good for a few weeks after, but now I need help again.

Tyrosine's effects are more stimulant-esque, meaning the effects are acute and you go through a mini withdrawal after the effects wear off. I don't believe wellbutrin has any ups or downs like that. Plus, it made you feel good at one point, so why not go back on it?
