Hi, I'm new to this board and have a few questions about the medications my new doctor just prescriped. I suffer from depression and anxiety as well as a bit of social phobia. I was previously taking PaxilCR, neurontin, and xanax. I have been on about every SSRI and had unacceptable side effects from them all. Over the past 7 years my weight has balloned 40lbs from various meds. My new doctor decided to put me on Wellbutrin as well as the neurontin and xanax. I had complete sexual dysfunction on the Paxil. In my opinion I am taking way to much xanax (1 mg.three times a day) Do you think Wellbutrin is a good choice for someone with severe anxiety? My previous doctor had talked about putting my on some kind of trycyclic drug if the Paxil didn't work for me. This guy was completely against it. Not that he really talked to me that much at all. I start the Wellbutrin today and I'm really afraid it's going to make me freak out! Has anyone with anxiety issues had any luck with this? Thanks, Cindybee
