> Anyone ever take welbutrin for panic disorder and have success? I realize it is not indicated for that but curious because of sexual side fx from lexapro.
I don't think it's as effective as tricyclics or MAOIs for panic disorder. In "Essential Psychopharmacology", Stahl states "Bupropion, however, does not seem to have apparent antipanic actions." I have social phobia with some panic disorder elements and did not find Wellbutrin as helpful as either tricyclics or MAOIs, but it did have some positive effects, but probably more for the social phobia part of my problem.
