I have used WB for six years. It is NOT for everyone, but it IS a very effective AD. You have to give it some more time. You didn't mention the dose you are taking. I take 150SR twice daily. You might also benefit from the addition of an SSRI, like Paxil to help with your anxiety issues, as well as a nice benzo like Klonopin. WB can make one on edge for a while until the body adjusts to it. I am very dose-sensitive, just a little more and I get chest pain, etc... However, it has done wonders as a mood elevator for me. I take from your post that you are NOT seeing a Pdoc, but a GP? You may benefit from some sort of counseling to talk about your issues. Many Pdocs have eschewed other-than-medical therapy, and GPs are not really qualified to be counselors. I have been seeing someone off and on for a few years now, and have found it very therapeutic to "get it off my chest". You SHOULD stay in very close contact with the doc that is giving you your meds. Almost ALWAYS they will need some "tweaking" to get the right combo for you. As they often say here "your mileage may vary". However, a few weeks is really not enough time to gauge the efficacy of Wellbutrin, but I think you should still speak with the prescribing doc.
