Okay, so I slowly released myself from Effexor and am now on 150mg of Wellbutrin. I still don't feel all that well, due to the withdrawal process. I do know it will get better. I haven't felt like myself for months due to Paxil, Effexor, and now Wellbutrin. Doctor's tell me it is due to Anxiety and/or insomnia.. I thought there might be something deeper. I need help on what prescription I should be taking. Yes, I do have insomnia. I am also very tense, to the point where my whole body shakes. Also, the reason I went to the doctor in the first place was my drastic mood changes. It would take less than a minute for me to go from happy to pissed off over nothing. I couldn't shake the moods, so I would be miserable all day. Does anyone experience this?

Welcome to today! I can't keep track of where my moods go. I'm just too scared to open my mouth and express anything, because by the time it's out, I feel different. I have lots of stuff happening here - 2 hurricanes in 3 weeks, running out of migraine med, forgetting my xanax at home today... but I know that I can't be relied upon for a mood reading at any time.
dx'd with mild bipolar2. generalized anxiety, and panic attacks.

Hi Olivia
I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. Prior to going onto med (Effexor 150mg), I was like a pitbull with lipstick on. Very volatile. Smiling the one minute -fuming the next. Nobody wanted to be around me. (Hormones also played a big role). It has stabilised since being on med, so I am grateful for that. But I certainly do understand what you are going through. You end up spending the day feeling miserable because the moods are so uncontrollable. Wishing you peace and strength.

Just a note - the Wellbutrin is famous for causing insomnia.
