Did you ever end up taking clonidine? My doc just prescibed it to combat the increased anxiety from Wellbutrin. I thought it was weird too. I haven't taken it yet because I'm too freaked out.

Tracilee I'm taking Wellbutrin and having a hard time with anxiety and I can't stop crying. Is this normal. I have been on it for 4 weeks now. Will it get better?

Julia Lee, I was on it 8 days and just today I stopped taking it because I just couldn't deal with feeling worse and worse everyday. And it makes no sense to me to take 2 other medications to cover up one that isn't working for me. From what I have read on DS alot of people have this reaction and stop taking it for that reason. I was crying for hours and I felt like I was going to have a panic attack at least twice a day. I don't know if it will get better for you, but I just couldn't deal with it! I just posted on the depression group about how frustrated I am with meds and doctors right now. I hope you find something that works for you.

Tracilee, I'm so sorry that wellbutrin isnt working for you but im glad im not the only one in the world that this happed to. The doctor said to taper off. Have you tried that? She said to take one pill every other day for three days. Hope that helps

From my experience, all of the meds I have ever taken make me feel worse before they make me feel better. I've taken Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Efexor, Prozac and finally I'm on Zoloft..which seems to be working. For me it took at least 6 weeks to feel better! Good Luck!
