In reply to Xanax?, posted by vjw on March 26, 2004, at 20:53:38
Hi -
I took Wellbutrin and I've posted previously about this - Wellbutrin is known for increasing anxiety, as it sure did for me. I was given 1mg Xanax, and told to take .5 twice a day to start, as needed. Well, in order to counteract the anxiety, I needed to be on in constantly, and I didn't want that. I was taken off Wellbutrin completely and put on Pamelor, and now I have to start taking Ativan, too. They say these AD's help w/both depression and anxiety - I've been on several and NONE help both. There is a long-acting type of Xanax, however, so maybe ask your Pdoc about - sorry, I forget exactly what it's called, but he/she will know. When I have taken Xanax, I only notice blissful calm, not fatigue, but everyone is different, of course. Good luck.
