Many anti-anxiety meds can manifest an increse in anxiety at the commencement of treatment. It's supposed to gradually ease as your body gets used to the new med in your system.
Unfotunately for me...it never did.

Welcome to the group. I cannot advise you on Wellbutrin, but I will say that many of us have been through several meds before we found the one that worked for us. Hang in there and we'll support you.

I am new here also...today is my first day...I started Prozac 2 days ago and find my Anxiety and panic much worse. Has anyone else taken Prozac and did it make your anxiety better after your body god used to it?

I haven't taken pozac but I have taken other medications in that family and My anxiety was worse.I know others it got better so I think it depends on the person.Give it a little longer to see if it will change.

i too have taken wellbutrin. I was put on it in May after I tried paxil for 2 weeks which made my anxiety alot worse. I was taking 100 mg. in the morning and in the afternoon of the wellbutrin and it made me extremely dizzy and sick, and I didn't notice alot of difference with the anxiety. I dropped it to the one in the morning and I felt alittle better, but the doctor didn't even want me to go on wellbutrin because he said it wasn't really used to treat anxiety, but he said I could give it a try (he probably thought it wouldn't work and we would move on to drug #3) anyway a couple of weeks ago I stopped the wellbutrin and right now just take xanax if I get really anxious. I am thinking about trying another antidepressant but so many of them make the anxiety worse at first and I have a hard time dealing with having to go thru it and giving it a fair chance I guess. I don't know what to do. good luck to you though, maybe you just need to give it a little more time. I wimped out!

Well...I chickened out too...I couldn't handle the side effects (prozac) of the raised anxiety. I need to be able to function on a daily basis and don't have 2 week to be stuck at home waiting for the raised anxiety to go away...SOOOO today my doctor put me on Zoloft which is said to have fewer side effects...I guess I will see.

Also,
I use a great self help workbook (recommended by my therapist) called "The Anxiety and Phobia workbook" by Edmund J Bourne. Alot of the times if I am dedicated to working in it, it seems to help w my anxiety. Might be worth checking out...

Wellbutrin did nothing for me..The best results I had were from : 150 mgs Paxil , then 150 mgs Effexor..It stopped mine cold. I got one mini one years ago. It does take at least 10 days to get into yr system. But my expierience is Wellbutrin was not for me...best of luck, call the doc !!!!

Welcome to the site.I have never taken Wellburtin.I have panic attacks,but i do not take any anti-depression meds.You could not pay me to take Prozac,they took it off the market for a while,and i just don't trust it and I was told that paxil and zoloft were in the same family of medince.I have tryed paxiland solsft,but it did not help me.I only take one kind of medince for my panic attacks,and it has helped me.If your attacks are getting worse,if i was you i would tell my doctor,because its suppose to help you not have panic attacks.I go to a panic attack specialist doctor,and he has never put me on Wellburtin.
