is paxil for anxiety or depression (sorry i can't remember)

i'm taking wellbutrin for depression, but the wellbutrin med (sorry i can't remember the name of that either) is the same thing they sell under a different name (sorry i can't remember that either) to help people quit smoking.

so maybe wellbutrin as something that might help with both? however wellbutrin can cause anxiety so if that is a problem for you maybe not a good idea. they gave it to me for my depression and to help improve my energy level because i had been sleeping all day. i don't have anxiety attacks but my general anxiety that goes along with my depression got a bit worse so the doc has me on celexa to counteract the wellbutrin.

don't know if it is appropriate or safe or an option in your case just something to ask the doc.

just don't take it to improve your memory though

setting an appt with your doc about this is probably the best thing you did, instead of trying just on your own or with over the counter stuff (he may recommend something over the counter but at least you'll know it is safe and a good idea for you)

good luck
