Possible trigger:
So now I avoid SNRIs. Be careful with the Wellbutrin--it increased my anxiety considerably (at one point I was on that and Cymbalta at the same time--that was a rough month or two, like simultaneous deep depression and intense anxiety...) But everyone's body chemistry is different. Hope it works for you!
Yeah, it always surprises me hearing these meds are used for panic and anxiety in some people and then trying them and seeing how they feel. And oh gosh. I read about people taking SNRIs + Wellbutrin or SNRIs + amphetamines and I can't even imagine how that'd feel if I tried it. haha.
Thanks!
Thanks for this!
