I'm on my 17th day of Wellbutrin (150mg for 5 days / 300mg since). Definitely noticing an increase in anxiety - which in turn compounds my depression. I kinda "long" for old times and feel empty - like half the man I used to be....
I've read anecdotes saying the anxiety does pass, and the drug does work. I'm just hoping somebody could share a positive experience.
Thanks,
-Jay

It made me very anxious too so I had to stop after a week. I know two others who love it and say the anxiety lessens in a week or two . Good luck. Love Phillipa

Jay I am do you have a benzo type drug to take to help with this horrible feeling? So I'm not the only one who can't handle wellbutrin. Love Phillipa

Thanks Phillipa for the support. Doc finally caved and gave me Klonopin yesterday which is kinda helping. Feeling somewhat better but still very edgy like I need to be constantly moving (legs tingle).
Ugh - hopefully it'll be over soon....

Well I'm back to normal now (or 95%). The doc gave me Klonopin and Seroquel. The later to really helped take the edge off.
Needless to say I'm done w/ Wellbutrin :/
