I am surprised that you doctor put you on Wellbutrin for anxiety considering it is not commonly prescribed for anxiety alone but rather depression.. it actually is known to increase anxiety due to the over-stimulating effects it has. I am taking both Wellbutrin and Klonopin (clonazepam) and I have found the Wellbutrin to increase my anxiety. Be careful with the clonazepam because it is addicting.
You only risk having a seizure from Wellbutrin if you already have a lowered seizure threshold from epilepsy, bulimia or alcoholism. A perfectly normal person without any past seizure activity does not run a risk of having seizures from Wellbutrin. However if you drink on it, you will lower the threshold, I strongly advise not to drink at all! I tried having one bloody mary and it felt like I had had 5 drinks and I couldn't even drive my car.
Good luck:)
Hi,
I have never taken klonopin, I took xanax instead which worked great.
I am on wellbutrin right now and doing really well on it. I am on the
SR version versus the XL but so far it works great! I hope you keep
improving,
best wishes,
