In reply to Increased anxiety on bupropion.., posted by sac on July 19, 2011, at 6:21:23
> I'm trying my third go with bupropion SR due to lack of motivation/apathy, I always have a hard time when I am starting out with this med due to the anxiety is causes. (I'm only taking 50 mgs) I also take 20 mgs. Prozac, 450 mgs. Lithium. My pdoc suggested to up the prozac to 30 mgs to offset the anxiety caused by bupropion. How would this help? Wouldn't an increase in the SSRI add to agitation?
well, agitation yes, especially at first. anxiety, probably not, esp in the long run.
for some short run agitation, a bit of a benzo would be the best thing.
