I'm in a similar boat, diagnosis wise. I've had OCD from an early age, and it has recently (last 2 yrs or so) tapered into a more general anxiety. Depression, unfortunately, has also come in with the general anxiety.
I've been on Prozac switched to Zoloft switched to Celexa 50 mg, and I've just started Wellbutrin. As you mention, the anxiety seems to have increased with the Wellbutrin (not OCD, just anxiety), but I do like the stimulating effect, which has at least improved the lethargy/
sleepiness and low energy.I too have, in the past, been less than forthcoming with my pdoc in order to get a change of prescription, mainly because I tend to obsess about the drugs I'm taking, and I have had intense OCD-related fear of some of them.
I've come to realize that if I am just brutally honest about what's going on, my pdoc will usually
respond helpfully. Otherwise I start to feel that I'm fighting this totally alone, which is not a pleasant feeling.Regards,
O
