In reply to intense anxiety--likely culprit?, posted by raisinb on October 29, 2008, at 17:21:04

Well buproprion is a rather activating agent, so your brain chemistry may have just changed a bit or you're still adjusting to it. I would think it would be more activating and could cause anxiety.But they say in medicine its the last thing you took -- the trouble is if you started both up at the same time its hard to sort out what is what without dropping both (probably not good) or sticking things out or switching out the buproprion to see if a difference can be seen
