Hello everyone 😊
I'm curious to know if anyone has or is experiencing depression but more anxiety issues.

I certainly am and I am 2 weeks into taking Welbutrin XL 150 mg.
Does anyone else take or have you taken this medication?
Did you have any side effects? I'm still not sure if this is right for me.

Wellbutrin does make anxiety worse in a lot of people when I went up to 300 my anxiety skyrocketed.

Does anyone happen to know if this is a medication that can be taken only when I feel the need for it?? Or is it one of those you have to take everyday?
I didn't ask my doctor that but it's something to discuss in my follow up with her.

Yep, I hear ya as Xanax turned my brain inside out and Paxil made me more depressed. Cymbalta stopped working for me, completely. I also agree that it is important to have lots of conversation with the prescribing dr especially when you begin a new med and especially those of us who have MS and take meds. If cant reach the dr, talk to the Nurse..Keep the communication flowing.

I've gone threw depresion and my doctor prescribed me Cipralex and it's perfect. Then I went off them and about 5 months later I went back on them. There's no side effects and my doctor said there ok to take your whole life if needed. Ask your doctor for Cipralex you won't be disappointed. I take 10mg that's the lowest dose. Doses go up to 60mg if needed. Plz try these and thank me later. Ciao
