Thanks for your posts, Jeff. I find your thoughts pretty comforting. I have had a lot of the same experiences that you have. My anxiety on the Wellbutrin also kicks in in late afternoon. I have also been at war with myself many times over taking the ativan. Sometimes I feel like a failure because I now have to take this addictive medicine (after having kicked all the drug abuse of my youth) just to keep myself from freaking out. But then I tell myself, like you, just take the ativan stupid. I only need 1/2 mg in the afternoon for anxiety, but I also take 1 to 1 1/2 mg at bedtime for insomnia. In a perfect world, Wellbutrin would handle the anxiety for me too. It is doing a really good job with the depression. I'm surprised at how much better I feel on a dose (only 100mg SR daily) my pdoc considers a "baby dose". I'm making a note to ask him on my next visit about splitting up the dose somehow to avoid the afternoon anxiety. Anyway, I'm "babbling". Thanks again.
