So up untill last week, i was taking 100mg of zoloft still am. Butast week the dr also prescribed me 100mg of wellbutrin and gave me avatin 2 take only as needed. This week i had a minor panick attack at work but chose not 2 take avatin. I had been somewhat calm up until that point so my question is, can my small setbacks b because of wellbutrin? I noticed im a little more shaky, anxious, headaches, and just hazy over all. My sleep sucks 2, trazodone only helps so much. So in a nutshell, is my body just experiencing side effects bcause of new med, & if so how long b4 wellbutrin takes positive effect?

Those sure sound like the side effects of the new med, especially the inability to sleep. It may take up to 6 weeks for side effects to subside.

Wellbutrin is or might I say can be stimulating for some. I am surprised that your doc gave you that because it can make anxiety worse. Well I am not a doc .....just from my own research which doesn't mean much. I hope you level out soon.

Yea anne, i kinda thought so just wanted ppls opinion. Hockey rules, i notified dr of my symptoms & yes he did state that it could cause anxiety. He told me to monitor my attacks and let him know if they persist so we can discuss. Yesterday i did get an overwhelming sensatiin of dizzyness, brain fog and got a cold sweat. I just talked myself through it and continued working. Still feel a lil funny 2day but im ok, and ive yet 2 take the ativan when i get an attack
