In reply to My Doc Says WELLBUTRIN is for ANXIETY!, posted by matthhhh on September 30, 2003, at 18:08:10
> My doc prescribed me wellbutrin for anxiety. Since ive been on it, ive noticed an increase in my mood and concentration, less fatigue but my anxiety and ocd have gotten worse.
> He says wellbutrin doesnt cause anxiety so it couldnt be the wellbutrin. Well, as far as i know, one of the main side effects of wellbutrin is anxiety, and it is rarely ever used for ocd. So what do u think?
Sure why not...wellbutrin for anxiety...docs give wellbutrin for smoking cessation, depression, social phobia, ocd,"the blues", as a "sex" stimulant, as and adjunct to other antidepressants, they give it for fibromyalgia, PMS, bipolar disorder...the list goes on....but if you ask me, looking at the pharmacology of wellbutrin, it is far more likely to cause anxiety then help alleviate the symptoms
