Officially it is a depression med, however it does show benefits to other things such as ADHD, Seasonal affective Disorder and some other things, so anxiety may be one of them as well, or at least certain elements of the anxiety. I have never taken it for either as I try to avoid any man made med if I can, so I manage my anxiety by other means. According to what I know of the med though you are looking at about a 4+ week ramp up for the med to reach full effectiveness on you.

I have been on Wellbutrin for a few months now. I didn't feel any difference as far as side effects for the first two weeks. But I had been doing a lot of things for my depression and anxiety, so I was pretty even to begin with. About two weeks into it though, I had a big crash! It was set off by several stressors all at one time, but I do not know how I would have reacted without the drug. I thought I reacted kind of crazy on it, but my friend really thinks I would have been worse without it.

I haven't had any issues with it for my depression. I do not have many depression moments at all. HOWEVER, it does nothing for my anxiety. I was put on clonazapam for that. When I got off the clonazapam thinking I was better, the anxiety slowly increased until I was back to the crazy stressed person again.

So, I have heard that it helps some people with anxiety, but not me. All of these drugs are trial and error though.

It took about 2 weeks for me to know it was making a difference. I am sensitive to drugs and only on a baby dose. I am not even on the therapeutic dose yet.

I take welbutrin for anxiety 3 times a day it helps me some I am a lot better taking it then not. at least it lets me stop thinking at night so I get some sleep.I haven't had a panic attack since I started taking it but I did miss taking it a few times an my husband noticed the difference . It took a few days before it started to help ofcourse my biggest problem is with PTSD at night an I haven't really tested it going out at night
