Hi, I am currently going through a difficult time in my life and am experiencing depression. I also have episodes of anxiety - uncontrollable thoughts, crying, overwhelm- but they don’t last too long (5-10 mins).
I have read a lot about Wellbutrin and people experiencing irritability and increased anxiety, at least initially. I also have read about Wellbutrin rage, which sounds worrisome as I can get angry at times with overwhelming emotions.
For people who took it with anxiety and depression, did you increase your anxiety or make you irritable continuously or did it settle down after a while?
My dr did also mention Lexapro instead.
Weighing my options.
Thanks for the insights.
