Wellbutrin is not good for OCD, if you suffer from generalized anxiety and OCD, at least from my experience. I took it with a little Klonopin -- partially because I needed to counteract its hyperactive effects and partially to cover any issues with seizures (not particularly present with SR and XR unless there is a seizure disorder present).
Eventually I had some very modest depression improvement, hyperactive sexual thoughts and impulses (okay, feeling good about sex I suppose is depression lifting though sometimes excessive -- anyhow.. :P), and I couldn't fall asleep for pure OCD obsessions and repetitive thoughts created by the fact that Wellbutrin is related to Tenuate, a no longer prescribed (I think still available) diet drug that is related to the phenylamines (amphetamine class drugs).
