In reply to stimulating = bad for anxiety? (nm), posted by Op27Nr2 on February 24, 2006, at 19:46:32
Wellbutrin is generally NOT good for anxiety. Of all the antidepressants sometimes prescribed in mood disorders, Wellbutrin is not among them. Its profile is similar to that of a stimulant. So if coffee affects your anxiety negatively then, wellbutrin would prob be a bad choice.
Hey, I play the piano too. If you're really intensly into piano, you may want to avoid the antipsychotics alltogether. Both risperdal and zyrpexa made it difficult for me to move my fingers. The whole class can cause muscle stiffness and rigidity. (Thats sure going to be problematic when you get to the Third movement bar 76.)
You may want to try SJW if you have not already. It helped my anxiety and actually had a positive impact on my playing.
There are so many different supplements available to help anxiety, literally dozens, some better than others. The pharmacudicals may be worth a try, (I've certainly been on them all), but their side effects can be burdonsome.
