Wellbutrin

Hi Canada and welcome to the A/P.:)

I think that Wellbutrin is not as commonly prescribed for anxiety, and that the 'jury is still out' on this Rx for treatment of anxiety disorders.

I believe that some GAD sufferers had some postive effect when used in a trial...but not in significant numbers.

Still, it is worth asking your doctor about. Have you also considered asking about an SNRI, a tetracylic A/D such as Remeron, a benzodiazepine, or an antihistamine used off label for anxiety? These are a few other ideas to discuss.

I hope that you find the answers that you need soon. Keep talking with us for support and check out our Resources for great self help anxiety management ideas too!
