Hey Spriggy, I began taking Wellbutrin abotu a week and a half ago. Around day 8 or 9, I began to have anxiety problems again. By day 10 I was so nervous that I couldn't function. I called my PDOC and low and behold they weren't surprised. They said that once it builds up in the system that people really begin to experience the anxiety. At any rate, I haven't taken it in 2 days, but still feel nervous, so it could just be my anxiety disorder talking , then again it taken time for it to clear out of the system. I'd taken it in the past and was able to tolerate it well, oh well, chemistry changes over time.
no more wellbutrin for me!
