Hi Ricker,

"I'm hoping I can get some feedback from posters that have "reliable" experience with wellbutrin, and also struggle with anxiety/panic,irritability?"

While I can't speak for the irritability (not a symptom I present very often), I do have severe anxiety at times; been battling it for years.

Wellbutrin never once affected my anxiety levels. It is my favorite psychotropic drug. It no longer works for me unfortunately.

Unless I absolutely had to, I would not take the drugs on your list with the exception of Klonopin. That's just me though.

Wellbutrin does give some people irritability and anxiety. I still remember how I was when I first starting taking it-some tremors, mild shaking, and irritability--but no anxiety. Those symptoms went away when my body got used to it. I think it's often one of those drugs that takes a while to get used to. But now that I think of it,, those initial symptoms may be a sign that it is working. I never got those symptoms with 2 or 3 subsequent trials of WB, and it never worked again.

But you seem to be doing very well. I'd be cautious about changing your meds. Zoloft gave me really bad brain fog before, and I suspect memory problems. Those SSRIs somehow mess w/my dopamine. Anything that works w/dopamiine like Wellbutrin has had a positive effect on my cognition.

I've seen others blame lamictal for memory problems.
