I normally suffer from social anxiety and depression and take celexa and klonopin for those.
Normally at home I don't have anxiety, unless I am really worried about something (like an upcoming social situation like a job interview).
When on wellbutrin, even at 150 mg a day, I found I was experiencing generalized, knot-in-the-chest, out-of-nowhere anxiety at night at home while just sitting around. It was obviously the wellbutrin causing it and it stopped when I stopped the wellbutrin. This effect took awhile to show up (probably 4-6 weeks) and it was also accompanied by sharp chest pains, which also stopped when I stopped the wellbutrin.
