Thank you for your comment. I was suggested about going on Wellbutrin by my pdoc, but I am unsure about this. I have GAD, and I am scared about increasing my anxiety levels. And I’m also unsure about not being on something that increases my serotonin levels. But I know in the end, the only thing that really has ever worked for me was the SNRI, which did raise norepinephrine. So I guess if Prozac doesn’t work, I will try Wellbutrin. Is it possible to be on both Prozac and Wellbutrin at the same time? I mean, since Prozac is an SSRI, it only raises serotonin, and Wellbutrin doesn’t impact serotonin at all, it seems like it would be fine.
A friend of mine is on Wellbutrin, and she does have anxiety too, and she says it has worked well for her, so maybe it would be fine.
