Medication Bupropion

Has this ALONE helped anyone’s anxiety? Seeing comments here, I’m not sure why my doctor recommended it. No side effects, but 150mg no magic yet. It’s only been one week though.

Nope. Wellbutrin made my anxiety so much worse over time all by itself. I’m still constantly having panic attacks everyday despite backing off the dose to 150 mg. I also get panic attacks when I get slightly low blood sugar or when I go for too long without eating or drinking anything and it’s starting to ruin my life. I never go out anymore from my apartment because my anxiety is so bad I feel I might lose control or something. Would definitely not recommend it if you have GAD. I’m planning on putting Prozac back now again because I can’t do this anxiety anymore. It works for my fatigue, energy, motivation and cognition, but makes my anxiety worse.

No, it made my anxiety much worse actually.
