I'm sooooo happy to read your post. Of course I wouldn't want anyone to experience anxiety & depression, but it's always good to know that what we're experiencing is common and we are not alone.
At 300mg. of the XL my blood pressure went sky high, besides I've been walking around with brain fog/spaciness for months which has decreased since I'm lowered my dosage to 150mg.
Like yourself the depression was gone at 300mg., now at 150mg. of Wellbutrin XL I'm agitated, anxious, had a panic attack which I haven't had in almost a year, and the depression has returned.
I hope that your doctor is right about the SR being smoother, because I'm going to mention this to my doctor on Friday as an option before dropping Wellbutrin completely. This will be my last try with Wellbutrin before giving it the boot :)
Please keep me posted on your progress with the SR. I know that we're all different, but since your reaction has been the same as mine so far with the XL I'm curious to know how "well" (thinking positive) you are going to do with the SR.
Thanks for making my day!

In her opinion the SR version is a bit easier for symptoms but who knows! Everyone is so very different when it comes to how your body will react to meds.
