> for those of you on WB that HAD anxiety/panic prior to taking it - when you started WB did you still have anxiety/panic first few days that eventually went away? how long before it goes away? thanks - i am hating the way i feel right now. i cant deal w. this everyday for weeks. i would have to take xanax everyday w/ it and it took more xan (a 1/2) than it takes when i am not on WB - i can get away w. 1/4. i just hope the rumors that WB is not the right drug for anxiety are UNtrueI don't know if this will help but here's my Wellbutrin story. I was on Effexor for anxiety and depression but it had quit working for depression. I was put on Wellbutrin. Within two days, my anxiety level was much higher. It was a feeling like I had to be active just to avoid feeling how I was feeling. It also caused insomnia. I stuck it out for 4-5 weeks and the anxiety never went away.
