Bassman, are you saying that wellbutrin did not give you panic, but other ssri's did? I am very interested as my pdoc has told me to start taking 37.5mg. wellbutrin starting Monday when she is back in her office. I am worried about it since I already take xanax for anxiety. My insurance refused to pay for effexor.
Thanks, Val
> Unfortunately, SSRI's do cause panic initially and when doses are increased in many people. I know, I have panic disorder and I can count on it whenever I start a new SSRI or increase the dose of an existing one. No such effect with Wellbutrin. I really don't think the benzos are causing you panic...they may jest have been at such a low dose that they didn't help the SSRI anxiety.
