Wellbutrin and panic attack

I started taking wellbutrin sr 150 mg about a week ago. I did okay on it, but my depression wasn't better. My doctor increased my dosage to 300 mg a day (150 mg in am, 150 mg in pm). Since then, I have had 1 panic attack, and I feel like I can't stop moving around. My heart also started to "flutter" a little bit last night. I'm also taking xanax for anxiety, and I admit I've taken more of it the last few days to deal with the anxiety. I think I'm going to go back down to the 150 mg once a day for a while, because this anxiety is killing me.

I was put on wellbutrin about 3 week ago, i have trouble going to sleep, but once i go to sleep i dont want to get up for nothing, this has only been happening to me since i been on wellbutrin, i wake up the next moring feeling dizziness, get alot more panic attacks pain all over my body, i'm still smoking would that anything to do with it? if anyone knows please let me know
thanks alot

I have chronic neck and back pain. My Doctor put me on Wellbutrin to help me quit smoking with the theory being my circulation would improve and the damaged areas in my back might heal.
I don't know if I will make it. I don't care if I have to quit smoking. I know I should anyway. The problem is the side effects. He took me off Xanax when he put me on Wellbutrin and my panic attacks started to come back, so I went back on the Xanax. But the worst side effect is the irritability.
I have to use every ounce of strength I have not to snap at people. I see my Doctor on Monday and I hope he has an answer. This is no way to live. Even simple things make me angry and want to fly off the handle.

Hi I have expierienced Post traumatic depression for the first time almost a year ago. I ended up in hospital and progressively got better. I am now on Wellbutrin, azor and molipaxin. My psychiatrist also traced that I was suffering from panic disorders from childhood and now when i think of it there were many instances i can relate to as a panic attack. However it is 8 months since I am on medication and
4 months on Wellbutrin, I am fine except there are times my heart feels racy, i have a constant cough, and loss of weight. is this normal and how long must I take this medication?

it made me feel like i was in a box. I had no emotion at all. I did not care about repercussions of ill made desicions. I didnt eat for about 3 weeks at 100mg. my arms shook and i would sweat profusely. I would have a pain so severe in my chest, back and stomach that all i could do was lay on the floor and cry. My anxiety and panic attacks persisted even at 300mg. the shaking stopped and so did the pain but the box has apparently dissolved because of my excessive crying. Everything around me assualts me- apparently wellbutrin XL at 300mg quit doing its job. I slept for 12 hours at a time - sometimes 20, having no recolection of falling asleep or ever waking up. Short term memory is shot - memory in general is shot. My keys, and shoes, and books dissapear on a regular basis because i cant remember if they are on the table or in the bag even though i set them down not 2 minutes ago.

0ne week at 150mgs, going on third week of Wellbutrin XL 300mgs. Started having panic attacks, that include tightness in chest, face feels cold while sweating. Overly emotional.

I've been on Wellbutrin for about five days and have experienced a flu-like haze, headaches, upset stomach, and at the time of this writing (it's 3am), severe insomnia. Worst of all are the dreams and waking feelings of fear I am currently experiencing. I feel like a frightened child in the dark, almost like a panic attack at times. These thoughts and fears are completely unjustified and irrational. I am not using any other drugs in my life now, including alcohol. Worst feelings of fear I've ever felt; like having a nightmare but you're awake.

Terrible stuff. Prescribed Wellbutrin for crushing depression, only to find it made me more anxious AND drugged out at the same time. I could barely think on this stuff, and was completely useless at work. It made my thinking cloudy and disorganized, and induced a panic attack. I despise this stuff. Never again.

been on welbutrin XL for 4 days now. If I feel anything at all, it's very subtle. Well I can say that I have noticed a mild sore throat since day 1. This may be unrelated however. I notice some people stating "On the 1st day, so and so, then on the 2nd day, so and so" I was under the impression that it would take a minimum of 1 to 2 weeks before any FX were noticed. I guess everybodies different though. I was 1st on Lexapro, took it for 6 weeks and it did nothing at all for me. I might as well been taking Flintstone vitamins. So 4 days ago started with the Welbutrin XL after turning down the option to go on Paxil. After all the negative horror stories I've heard about Paxil, you couldn't make me try it. I've got high hopes for the Welbutrin XL, and hope I recieve the benefit of it's use and not the hair loss and other ill FX.

There seems to be far too many poeple here with bad effects from Wellbutrin. I was on it one week, at first it was great, then I became shakey, then very anxious and angry. My ears started ringing like jets going over, I broke out in hives, and had a panic attack so severe, I though I going to die. I dropped it and I'm so terrified of it, I'm not going to bother with getting off it slowly. I'm Done!
I hope & prey this ringing goes away. Can anyone tell me if it will?
