> I think the small amount of Wellbutrin I'm on is helping my depression already (not yet a month), but I'm still having worse anxiety than I did when I started. What I want to know is did anyone have worsening anxiety for a month or more, and then had it get better? Will I always need a separate anxiety med with Wellbutrin? When the doc increases the dosage, will the anxiety increase as well? What have other users experienced?

I was on Wellbutrin(150 mg/day) for about 8 months last year. It worked fine, but I discontinued it without any trouble. After a 7 month layoff, I started back on it last week at 300 mg/day without starting at a lower dose as recommended. Now, 6 days after being back on it at 300 mg, I have experienced a couple nights of pretty bad insomnia with one moderate panic attack during my insomnia. I have had only one panic attack in my life and it was in a moment of severe stress a couple of years ago. This one was simply because I couldn't sleep. I want to believe that my error in not starting out at a lower dose, as recommended, caused this anxiety and panic, and not that I'm developing a panic disorder. I have discontinued Wellbutrin as a result. Has anyone experienced this or has anyone's physician commented on this? Please help.
