> Yes, and no. I have had my anxiety since childhood, after a stay in the hospital for pneumonia. I have only been on ADs for 10 months, so I know the anxiety was there before.

I know that I am a lot crankier on Wellbutrin. Maybe Wellbutrin is having a countering effect against the Xanax/Ativan/etc. Is that possible?hello there, chemist here...you have gone from an SSRI to a (mostly) NERI, and wellbutrin will prove to be more stimulating than your previous med. thus, i think your conjecture is highly probable, and that a reduction in wellbutrin (in consultation with your doctor, of course) would be a quicker fix than loading up on a variety of benzos. in my opinion, given the rather short washout time for wellbutrin, that you might find this an attractive option, in that it ought to work quickly....all the best, chemist
