I felt like I was crawling out of my skin on Wellbutrin and I hallucinated visual trails. I wasn't on it long.

hi all, new here, all i could say is thank goodness for this site. im wondering if anyone is taking wellbutrin with a panic disorder?? i was on paxil last year (thought it was a miracle drug till i gained 30lbs and wanted off)(april)did fine without till seasonal/x-mas blues caught me by the butt again..... dr. put me on wellbutrin 150mg once a day, im on the 5thday, with a side of ativan (1mg) if need be..... well i needed it today to stop my insides from spinning, i didnt know to sit and cry climb the walls or run a marothon......... i have anxiety to begin with i didnt need this added anxiety and aggitation, irrability....... am i alone????? i have anxiety secondary depression if i cant fight the anxiety i get depressed.........
> > has/have anyone feel this way? does the spinning thoughts a mile a second go away..... this time is worse then the last *thought wise* some bad thoughts, some good thoughts...... changes with the wind........ i know this drug doesnt work in a week, but does it work??? panic took away my patience.... :(
> > i constantly worry, and fear everything life has to offer........ anyone else? any stories to put light on this? feedback would be greatly appreciated.......

> I took welbutrin and i remeber, hallucinating and had panic attacks. The only other method to combat this would be to take a benzo with welbutrin or sedating med like remeron. esp if you have panic or anixety disorder. I like desipramine, hits norepinephrine in stead of dopamine like welbutrin. I may try welburtin with added xanax 1-2mg a day with remeron. But welbutrin by itself is sheer panic! Like being on cocaine or meth!
