I agree, i want you to try wellbutrin, its stimulating, not litterly as a stimulant, but it is made to help individuels with depression for motivation. Now, anxiety has been reported before, mainly becuase of its arousal-stimulating properties which is common.
Even if there is anxiety, it wont stand a chance against Xanax, xanax will keep the anxiety disiplined.
Mention Wellbutrin to your doctor, in your next appointment, and tell him that you want to continue Xanax with wellbutrin to level the anxiety.
Lexapro i dont know much about, its new, and came you in 2001, i've heard good things about it in articles over paxil, but nothing in depth. But it may make you drowsy with the Xanax, thats why i belive wellbutrin may help to normal your energy.
One more thing, i would take xanax with Wellbutrin the first couple days, becuase when i started wellbutrin, i felt "wired" and a little anxious, but this effect goes away about 3-5 days after you take it, becuase the body will eventually equalize the effects.
If you have social anxiety, wellbutrin is not ment for social anxiety and could make it more intense becuase of it seems to sharpen the senses slightly as a stimulant effect, but like i said Xanax "will" take care of any "edgyness" caused becuase it is a very potent antianxiety med.
Take care....
