Q: Wellbutrin Xl

Two months ago my doctor put me on wellbutrin 150mg 2x daily to help quit smoking..It worked wonders..And also seemed to greatly lessen my anxiety. Because of my hectic work schedule it was difficult to remember to take the nighttime dose so I kind of stopped taking it for a little over a week without talking to my dr about it. I almost imediatly found my anxiety skyrocketing again so she now has me on the wellbutrin xl 300mg.

I wanted to read about it so I googled it and found that most people had horror stories to share about their experience. A lot saying that their anxiety worsened and panic attacks occured.

Does anyone have any good things to share abou the drug?
Should my doctor have maybe perscribed another drug for my anxiety??

Thanks everyone..

For your anxiety I'd say try a cocktail like my own: 100mg Zoloft & 150mg Wellbutrin. I have found myself with pretty minimal side effects (migraines were the worst). Definitely look into SSRI drugs though for bad anxiety, unfortunately for me Zoloft makes me sleepy and a little zombie-ish so I take it before bed... and the wellbutrin is an awesome morning 'pick me up'

Personally, I did not like it. Made me a mad girl all the time. Always angry and hateful.
