Wellbutrin, anxiety

Based on my experience and from what I've read here Wellbutrin can raise anxiety in a large class of people. Particularly those with a pre-existing anxiety condition. My experience parallels yxibow's: I had a huge increase in anxiety, leading to obsessive thinking way beyond my norm. Twas great for the libido and sexual function, though...

I think this has to do with the fact that when you take into account the total effect of Wellbutrin and its metabolizes, the impact is much stronger on NE reuptake than DA.

I would think that low-dose selegiline, with or without precursors, would be more preferential towards DA. At least that's my hope!

Good luck,
