Could Wellbutrin be increasing anxiety?!
Question: Could Wellbutrin be increasing anxiety!?
I have been on Wellbutrin for about a year!. It has helped my depression tremendously!. However, now I'm enrolled in grad school and while I've always been nervous about public speaking, I find myself TERRIFIED!. To the point that one time, I actually left the room saying I had to go to the bathroom so I could escape!. Could Wellbutrin be increasing my anxiety about this now that I have more stressors or triggers!? Or is it just the fact that I've been out of school for awhile and just out of practice!? Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc!.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc!.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level!.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication!. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac!. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings!. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac!. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc!.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced!.!.!. you have that "learned behavior" in your mind!. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this!. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction!.!.!. There are several other techniques to help cope them!

I say it could be a little bit of both!. I was on wellbutrin for depression a few years back and I found that it only blocked out my unhappiness and sort of numbed me!. I have been off anti-depressants for over 3 years now and I must say I have been feeling a lot better!. I've learned to switch my way of thinking!. It is very hard to do, and depression is very life altering, but it can be done!. I would speak with your doctor and see what they think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Could be just being stress and triggered!. However anxiety IS a possible side effect of wellbutrin!.!.!.!.!.actually very common side effect!. Wellbutrin made my anxiety go away when i started taking it, but that was because my anxiety was associated with my depression!.!.!.!.!.my dr found it very odd since there was much more of a chance of it making it worseWww@Answer-Health@Com
people can react differently to medications!.
thats why i would suggest you talk to your doctor!.
the stress you are talking about could be just that an extreme fear of speaking in public!.
ask your doctor what he thinks you need to do!.
