I have been on Wellbutrin since June.. for anxiety, panic (and depression, which seems to creep up on me with the anxiety). Before that I was on Celexa, and before that on Paxil. Although paxil worked really well, I gained about 40 lbs in 2 years!! So I became really depressed about my weight and tried Celexa. Celexa and sex drive were BRUTAL, so went to Wellbutrin. Was taking 150mg and felt pretty good... but I still had a bit of anxiety feelings, so my dr. put me up to 300mg /day. Holy crap - i am so wired that I feel panic and anxiety all the time. I dont know if it's just a coincidence that this is happening with the upped dosage, but it is crazy. I have only been on 300mg for 2 weeks, but my dr. says the stimulant factor should go away soon. For now I am also taking clonazepan to chill me out. Anyone in a similar situation? This is crazy... I just want to feel normal and not be a damn walking pharmacy!!!
