I have been taking Wellbutrin-SR for several years & it works beautifully. Initially, an increase in anxiety is not unusual, but should subside in apx. 2 weeks - it sounds like this might not be the best med for you. There are many antidepressants out there that include an indication for anxiety as well (Effexor XR [has similar side-effect profile], Paxil [better choice if you also suffer from insomnia], & Zoloft [well tolerated]). This list does not include those anxiolytics that are habit-forming. Wellbutrin should always be started at a lower does to allow your body time to adjust & decrease initial side effects; although, at six weeks, this is not the issue. You should talk with your health care provider regarding a new med for your condition.
