Answer 1

These are the very things you should tell your Dr. Call and leave a message if you have to. If you do not communicate, they can't help you.

It is possible that you need a different dosage of the medication you are taking, or maybe even a different medication.

I can't emphasize enough the role that therapy/counseling has in helping you to control and move beyond your anxiety.

Calm yourself as best you can, roll-up in a blanket, watch a long quiet, funny, old movie - one of your favorites. (Bambi? Charlie Chaplin? It's a Wonderful Life?)

You can also calm yourself with a walk, and find something to experience with each one of your senses. Smell, taste, touch, hearing, vision - pleasant and soothing things.

Hugs help too.

Yikes!That is terrible , I would not take that anymore if i were you. When you get your perscription from the pharmacy, it usually comes with a little paper telling of all the "possible" side affects the drug can have. If you have thrown yours away, it shoudl be very easy to Google the side affects on Wellbutrin. You will most likely find your side affects listed. If your Dr. takes you off the medication , most likely he will find another medication for you to go on. I have bipolar, and adhd, and ocd, and have probably taken every phyciatric drug available in several different combinations w/other drugs at some point. I am happy to say I have been medication FREE for 3 full years. It has been great to have back control of my life, and not be some expiremental guinea pig. There are usually natural alternatives to fix whatever problems you are having. I urge you to look into some holistic rememdies. I feel it is better then takign medciation, that almost always gives unwanted side affects, soon you are takign medication to get rid of another medications side affects. Most of the time you are ony treating the symptoms w/these drugs, and not fixing the real problem. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

Call your doctor. If any medication is not producing a desired effect then you doctor should be notified. People are susceptible to ill effects of medicines to varying degrees. It is possible to have an allergic reaction to a medication. Don't freak out, just call a professional. You could call your local hospital and speak to the attending physician for advice.

Answer 4

its good that you felt you were better and didnt need the meds. however, you should have winged your self off of them, not cold turkey. take a smaller dose, and gradually be rid of them. however, depression is a serious matter, especially at a young age as yourself. You need to develop your own style of learning to cope and deal with lifes' dalima's. because the older you get, the more stress will be out there. Force your self to laugh in the mornings when you wake up. come running in the kitchen like you're going to a fire. jump up and down. your mom will think there's something seriously wrong with you, but just laugh! laughter is the cure to a lot of drepressed individuals.

Answer 5

Absolutely. Wellbutrin can make anxiety worse especially in the initial stages (although it is also used to treat anxiety disorder). You may consider talking to your doctor who may be able to reduce the dosage or switch medications if the side effects are too intolerable.

Answer 6

You need to get back to your doctor to discuss this and to discuss the possibility of trying a different med. There's no substitute for that discussion.

What will happen to me if I stop taken the Wellbutrim
