Wellbutrin is not good for anxiety at all. It is used for depression most frequently and often can make people anxious.

ScaredSad, yours is a story well worth sharing. Thank you. You sound like you had an extreme reaction to Effexor (although I've heard quite a few people have less severe difficulties). Have you tried searching the Internet for other similar stories? Maybe you could find some ideas for how to help yourself. I hope the new pdoc has some knowledge that can help. I wonder if a therapist could also help? It boggles my mind that your former pdoc let you stay on Effexor when it was causing you so much harm. Best of luck. Please stop back and let us know how you're doing.
